Tom Aspinall has been diagnosed with a rare condition in both eyes and is not yet clear to return to action as he provided a worrying update on the injury he sustained in his heavyweight title defence against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321.
Gane accidentally poked the Briton in both eyes towards the end of the first round of their bout in Abu Dhabi on 25 October, with replays supporting his post-fight complaint that the Frenchman’s finger had gone “knuckle-deep” into his eye.
