Can you point me to your posts clamoring for vacated belts in the cases of Chimaev, Pereira, Topuria, Dern, and Harrison? Since they've all been out longer, some not even injured?

Just wanna make sure we're being consistent and not full of shit

How about well use what you listed as a means of ending this madness?

You gotta admit, this tomfoolery out of tom is the limit of this nonsense.

Im sick.of it and surprised you're aren't.

 

[markg171]

Are you mixing me up with another poster or something?

You're all the same to me for being on Tom's side for his blatant grifting that falls apart under the slightest scrutiny.

Oh my god an actual Opthalmic surgeon who also offers laser eye surgery did Tom's surgery?!?!

Brown's Syndrome, which is what Tom's medical report claims he has, isn't cured by laser eye surgery. It's a tendon issue, not a cornea issue.

Tom's poor eyesight, as documented by wearing corrective lens for years now long before the eyepoke instead of pretending to need glasses like Tom did after the eyepoke, is however cured by laser eye surgery like Tom had.

Hope this helps you understand his LASIK has nothing to do with the eye pokes 4 months ago. In fact it wouldn't be shocking at all to know he'd been in consultations to get this done awhile ago and just pretended the two were related for people like you to fall for.

I think the argument is that the eye injury Tom had has aggravated pre-existing vision problems. This can be a thing, where your vision issues are manageable until something makes them worse, and then they need treatment. So it might be reasonable that Tom gets injections for the damage caused by the poke, and then laser surgery to fix his myopia. This should correct his vision problems.

However, I do believe he should vacate the title while he works through these injuries. Jiri did the honorable thing when he got injured. It's unfortunate that Tom got injured. Gane is a dirty garbage fighter, and I'd be happy if the UFC tossed him out. But yea, if Tom can't defend before June 2026, I think he should be stripped of the title or forced to vacate.

Looks like my eyes after I was struggling for a good few hours in the toilet with severe constipation after that lamb vindaloo takeout I had a few months ago. Couldn't shift it for love nor money. Horrible time

 

[Spounman]

I still can't believe any casual has ever called this bum a goat

 

[CatchtheseHands]

I don't give a shit, make it Waldo vs Pereira. I'm not attached to Gane, but he's the only one who hung with Aspinall so far and most decorated. Moreso, I just think Pereira getting a 3rd belt would be better than waiting all year.


It was BS, and 1 BS shouldn't permit another. That's my issue. If the time wasted was the problem, we're okay with him wasting time. I get the logic because fair is fair, but also as a fan we've essentially waited since 2023 Jones/Gane for a real HW title fight. And if Jones taking a year off was horrible so is this, or it wasn't and we just accept this is how championships operate.

Dude, Dana and the UFC do not want Alex at HW right now, every time Dana is asked the answer is always "we'll see" or "I think he should stay at 205 for now" so until the UFC and Dana allow him to move up, he's not moving up. So I don't know why people keep pushing Alex vs anyone at HW when there's no chance of it happening as of now and without Alex what is the HW division exactly going to move onto if Tom Vacates? Gane vs Volkov 3 for undisputed? Waldo vs Gane for undisputed? Cause that's all there is and neither of those options are better than Tom vs Gane 2.

You're treating a complex trauma case like a routine trip to a LASIK clinic. You're right that a laser doesn’t fix a tendon, but you're wrong to assume that a laser being present means he only had LASIK. Once again - you don't know what you're fucking talking about.

First, the actual diagnosis on the NHS and Optegra reports is "Bilateral Traumatic Brown’s Syndrome." That’s a mechanical restriction where the eye gets physically stuck because the Superior Oblique Tendon is trapped in the pulley system of the eye socket. You can't fix a "stuck" eye muscle with LASIK. The photos of his eyes being a bloody mess are a textbook match for Strabismus surgery (muscle/tendon repair). That involves cutting into the conjunctiva to physically reach and release those muscles. LASIK suction doesn't cause that level of deep tissue trauma, muscle surgery does.

Second, that ZEISS machine you're looking at isn't just for fixing a blurry prescription. It's used for PTK (Phototherapeutic Keratectomy). PTK is specifically used to remove corneal scarring and surface irregularities caused by physical trauma... you know... like Gane’s fingers going knuckle-deep into his eyes.

So what actually happened is likely a two-part recovery:

Manual surgery to fix the stuck tendons so his eyes track together again (fixing the double vision) and the Laser (PTK) to clear up the scarring on the surface so he can see clearly.


Calling it a scam just because you saw a laser machine is like seeing a mechanic with a wrench and assuming he's only changing a tire while the engine is sitting on the floor.



I said it in the other thread that it was the last time I was going to respond to you but I just can't help it - you're so fucking stupid and unwilling to learn anything new that you can't have any sort of honest argument. It actually makes me lose faith in humanity that you have other mouthbreathers that like your posts and think you actually have any clue about what you're talking about.

This is a gigantic wall of text to avoid the fact that Tom had existing visual problems that required glasses as far back as at least 2021. And not from an eyepoke in October 2025.

Dude just went and got LASIK to correct his already bad eye sight. Watch his glasses that he suddenly pulled out post eye poke, despite previously wearing them back in 2021 and prior, suddenly never being needed again.

You know, cuz he got LASIK at Optegra Laser Eye Surgery by a Laser Eye Surgeon.

 

[markg171]

Based on the available information from medical reports, statements from Aspinall and his team, details about Optegra's services, treatments for Brown's Syndrome, and evidence of Aspinall wearing glasses dating back to at least 2021 (e.g., public GIFs and images from that period showing him in eyewear), there is a high likelihood—around 80-90%—that the recent surgery was LASIK or a similar refractive procedure to address longstanding vision issues unrelated to the October 2025 eye poke.

Key factors supporting this assessment:
- Brown's Syndrome involves restrictions in eye muscle/tendon movement, typically requiring targeted surgical intervention on the superior oblique tendon (e.g., lengthening or alteration) rather than laser-based cornea reshaping.
- Optegra focuses exclusively on refractive surgeries like LASIK, LASEK, and SMILE for issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, with no indication they handle Brown's Syndrome or trauma-related muscle conditions.
- While Aspinall and Optegra publicly linked the procedure to the poke incident, the mismatch in treatment type suggests it may have been an opportunistic fix for pre-existing refractive errors, possibly exacerbated but not caused by the injury.
- Initial post-fight evaluations (e.g., by ringside and hospital doctors) noted no structural damage, aligning with the eventual Brown's diagnosis being functional rather than something laser surgery would resolve.
- No evidence contradicts the pre-existing vision problems, and the timing (4 months post-poke) fits a standard elective LASIK recovery window rather than urgent trauma repair.

This doesn't rule out some connection to the incident, but the details point strongly toward unrelated corrective surgery.

Has double eye surgery, gets poked again by Gane in the rematch.

Damn could you imagine.

 

[mmasask]

His eyes look way worse after the surgery.

 

[fendertach]

Tom fans will literally do anything but acknowledge the plentiful evidence showing this guy is milking a pretend injury and now trying to deceive fans into feeling sorry for him with laser eye correction for bad vision that's completely unrelated to fighting.

It's truly impressive.

I feel like uncle Dana will expose this fraud sooner rather than later.

 

[dominion]

Gane should be forced to wash his hands before the fight

 

[Spath]

These threads just keep on going… One side going ”Oh geez, he’s still BLIND few MONTHS after the fight! Dude just had a SURGERY on his eyes!!”

and the other side is like

”bruhh gets a LASIK sponsored by Optegra, it’s an ad and a cover up with nothing to do with the eye pokes”

You mean a gigantic "wall of text" explaining the specifics of the injury and why it actually makes sense? And not seeing a laser machine in jumping to some weird conclusion and making up conspiracy theories?

So I don't know why people keep pushing Alex vs anyone at HW when there's no chance of it happening as of now and without Alex what is the HW division exactly going to move onto if Tom Vacates? Gane vs Volkov 3 for undisputed? Waldo vs Gane for undisputed? Cause that's all there is and neither of those options are better than Tom vs Gane 2.

I just think besides rematches Alex has cleared the LHW division except for Ulberg, which might be a waste of time or not many care. He's getting up there in age and HW could prolong his career. Now without Almeida there is basically no wrestlers. Dana just can't announce anything from questions, so he's waiting for a signed fight and confirmation.
