Tom Aspinall explains issues in training as eye injury persists for UFC champion

Tom Aspinall has opened up on the issues affecting him when he attempts to train, four months after he suffered a severe eye injury in the UFC cage.

In October, Aspinall’s first defence of the undisputed heavyweight title ended as a no-contest in round one, as opponent Ciryl Gane poked him in the eyes several times.
