Francis Ngannou has defended Tom Aspinall over the eye poke from Ciryl Gane that abruptly ended their UFC title fight.
In the main event of UFC 321 in October, Aspinall was defending the undisputed heavyweight title for the first time when Gane poked him in the eyes twice – both times in the first round. The latter poke affected both of Aspinall’s eyes, and although he was given five minutes to recover, he could not continue.
