Media Ophthalmologist Exposes Tom Aspinall "Stop Lying Tom"

[AndrewGolota48]

Tom's not even on the level of Ngannou tho as far as prestige so he isn't likely to get a fight with a top-line HW. His best chance of making money would be if Jake Paul thinks he can outbox him.

I will go on record that Jake would knock the dogshit out of Tom. Jake at this point, in reality, is the objectively far more experienced boxer, and Tom's style would translate horribly to boxing. I can't imagine Tom beating anyone in boxing quite frankly, it's a bad move unless he knows he can somehow get one big money fight and get out, but I can't imagine Tom vs anyone drawing huge numbers, unless it's vs Jake on Netflix perhaps.

I don't understand the hate on Tom, regardless of his behaviour after the fight. I think he's getting a lot more criticism than he should. He didn't cause the obvious foul that fucked his eyes up. And I was rooting for Ciryl Gane. And will still do if they ever fight again.

Poor Tom can't get any break.

I will say that this situation is a shame regardless of what you think of what transpired. I wanted to see a full fight with Tom against a skilled opponent like Gane, and I was thoroughly enjoying Gane's dominance, but it would be awful and a true shame if Tom came back diminished.

100%

People can't accept that Jake showed more heart in his embarrassing performance vs AJ than Tom has if things don't go according to plan.

Sorry, guys. It's time to move on to the next great white hype

Asians are the smartest people in the world by far. You all better stfu and listen to this guy.

I just wanted to use the new Sherdog Sexy emoji and well, with all the posts mentioning the doc is Korean, seemed like a good as time as any.

Plus Tom, probably got lasik so he can see Sexy more clearly because if anything is worth getting clearer vision over, it’s

People chase fame for seriously dumb reasons. Being confident is not enough to save your career. Him being right, maybe, but their are so many people turned off by such behavior that it might. However, it could be offset those who seek him out for bad behavior. Either way, I still think it is both stupid and unprofessional. But he is getting what he wants, people talking about him and hopefully clicking on him.

The man is a doctor and has accomplished almost everything
why would he ruin his career because of tom aspinal

lmaooo

imagine a full grown man with great credibility will ruin his career

just for tom aspinal

looooooolllll


JUST FOR TOM ASPINAL
seriously

My brother had lasek surgery in his early twenties and his sight is fucked since ; it was done too early and wrong. He now have to wear heavy glasses or dont see shit.

That a "specialist" from a country where 50% of the population have facial/body surgery tells me all I have to know : stupid bullshit spewed

Only 3% to 5% of the total popluation has had plastic surgery

 

[lweiberg]

UFC has been putting years of work on this heel turn for Tom.

He's become a Heavyweight Lance Storm based on popularity at this point

 

[HolmeZy55]

I could tell Tom wanted out.

Anyone who's watched MMA for a while could see it.

I think Tom just panicked, he was losing and then got a bad eye poke, realized hey I can just back out here, reset and try again but kind of painted himself into a corner with the whole thing. Now he is doing documentaries on it and really has no choice but to keep it up.

However, MMA reporter Petesy Carroll, who accompanied Aspinall for the latest surgery, recently provided a concerning health update about the UFC heavyweight champion.

According to Carroll, Aspinall still struggles with basic daily activities and is far from thinking about a return to fighting. Carroll wrote:

“The champ still can’t track moving targets,” Carroll wrote. “His eyes hurt if he sends too many text messages. He gets vertigo if he changes directions suddenly. He misses people’s hands when he tries to shake them. He can no longer do the thing that’s given him an identity since he was a child. Hell, he struggles to do the most basic drills. Sometimes, he struggles to play with his kids. He has to ask people to drive him to most places he goes and ask those same people to bring him home afterward.”

Ah shit, the reporter is in on it too! Shoulda known. Or maybe Tom is just realllllly committed to his bit.

This is one of the dumbest CTs on this site. And that's saying a lot.

Who is Petesy Carroll and do you not think it was part of the deal to go with Tom to report on it in a way that Tom saw fit. He only has Tom's word to go on for any of this so he might say type all of these words but ultimately the narrative is coming from Tom. It's not like he is an investigative journalist studying Tom's every move.

This is the big problem with that fluff piece. At no point does the reporter ever even ask WHAT is being done and HOW it might fix Tom's Brown's Syndrome. He just play by plays everything he's told instead of asking any relevant questions. The article might as well have been written by one of Tom's own team mates.

But it has a nice CBC/Yahoo logo slapped on it so people give it a degree of legitimacy it hasn't actually earned.

 

[Mickey Mick]

I actually don’t think he’s lying which makes this flood the zone posting from him and papa aspinal all the more embarrassing.

You’re a fighter. Keep this shit close to the vest. Be STOIC.

Would fedor had done this??

 

[Alpha_T83]

I know.... he's already told us on his 50 Sherdog Accounts.

Also "experts" can be biased and full of shit. Daniel Eichner has a PhD but his pulsing science is garbage.

Just because someone has a degree and calls themselves an expert, doesn't mean they are always right.

 

[Bojka]

Pretty weird considering all of his videos are mainly bitcoin, Korean government stuff, local issues, and then randomly

TOM IS A LIAR.

I was with Tom until his Dad started coming out with videos constantly, then it really seemed like they were trying to sell the severity of it and it's just not a good look. But he was fucked in the eyes for sure, and he wasn't on the verge of a first round KO loss like everyone seems to keep saying. Gane landed some good shots and that's it, there was no OMFG HE'S ABOUT TO PUT TOM OUT RIGHT THIS SECOND.

I feel like Tom has been done with Dana and the UFC for a while, and maybe that's why he's fucking around and dragging this on. Pulling a Jon and pretend everything is good and keep ignoring everyone and stay the official champ as long as possible before coming to a decision.

I think he's desperate to change the narrative, but that doesn't mean he didn't get a nasty eye poke. I guess maybe he's trying to justify not coming back right away.

 

[fizzlehiss]

Tom is a wanker. We should've known he is some sort of delusional weirdo because from his tats.

I think that's a pretty fair guess. He wasn't being dominated or anything but besides the bloody nose, the thing I noticed most in the fight was how hard he was breathing through his mouth so either his cardio was really shit for that fight or something was broken. He may have also bought in to his own hype a bit.

I didn't think the eye poke was that bad when watching it live but it was obvious Gane fouled him good on the replays. Whether he could have actually continued or not, only he knows but I think he may not have liked how things were going and he was already compromised so took the out. That's just my opinion. I have no problem with people who want to believe Tom completely. The bigger problem has been the aftermath in how Tom seems to keep trying to sell it with all the stupid videos put out. It's like he's trying to justify his decision to himself as much as to fans.

 

[Clark Rogers]

I don't get what's funny? Tom is trying to pass off his Lasik as fight related, when it's clearly not. You guys just blindly listen to fraud Tom without acknowledging the facts and evidence? Why do you choose to be so naive?

Perhaps they just choose not to give every single fuck about it.

You in here acting like there's this big fucking war between Tom believers and Tom detractors and truth is most are just fucking sick of hearing about it period, either way, and just want to see HW move.

"You guys" need to take a breath. It's MMA, there's bigger shit in the world.

All I know about Carroll is he’s British so it’s hard to believe he’s being entirely impartial here.

I definitely believe Tom’s eye is/was compromised but he’s doing too much media bullshit. Get better and get back in the cage, stop trying to do damage control, he’s never going to win the critics over.

 

[goOb]

Both Tom and Gane should have their eyes surgically removed for their rematch. It’s the only way to be sure that both are on an even playing field.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

dana obviously paid this guy off to make tom look bad

Hey, isn’t that the same Korean who did Jake Paul’s hair for his last fight?!
