we know the threats dont we? the UFC is dying thread the threads on how things used to be more exciting when i was younger thread the threads about the poor matchmaking by the Power Slap Pimp Dana.
Tom Aspinall who is majorly suffering from his eyes is effectively slowly going blind by the hands (literally) of Cyril Gane who couldn't keep his hands to himself. Aspinall is an exciting fighter and one of the top UFC contenders we want to see fight for he is in his prime, a relative question mark in some senses and potential to be one of UFCs bigger HW superstars.
but his father has also attested to the fact that his eyes simply wont heal and until they dont we are unlikely to see Tom come back into the octagon, let alone back against the ocular assassin.
but we dont need him to come back against the French Fork we need him to come back period.
this week its come out to be that Tom Aspinall is suffering majorly under the hands of online bullying and he went as far to throw sherdog under the bus in the process.
in short:
online bullying > massive stress > cortisol spikes >
increased eye pressure (worsens glaucoma or healing abrasions)
dry eyes & blurred vision (stress reduces blink rate/tear production)
tension headaches & eye strain that feel like vision loss
inflamed blood vessels in the eye (slows recovery from pokes/trauma)
worse sleep → even poorer healing and light sensitivity
so the bullying doesn’t literally poke the eye again, but the stress it causes can absolutely make an existing ocular injury heal slower and feel way worse.
thereby yes yes the matchmaking is shit but it'll only worsen if we collectively strain one of the prize fighters of the organisation.
you cannot see the ocular injury above but you can see the suffering in his eyes. pls have empathy.
