Alex Pereira has spoken out in defence of Tom Aspinall, after the UFC heavyweight champion underwent a second surgery on an eye injury.
Aspinall’s fighting future is up in the air as he continues to treat the injury, which was caused by multiple eye pokes from opponent Ciryl Gane in October. Britain’s Aspinall was defending the undisputed heavyweight title for the first time as he took on Gane, with their bout ending as a first-round no-contest courtesy of the Frenchman’s fouls.
