In a strange turn of events, Tom Aspinall’s training partner Ante Delija was ruled to have committed an eye poke in his UFC fight on Saturday – one week after Aspinall’s bout was halted when he was poked in both eyes.
Aspinall was defending the undisputed heavyweight title for the first time when, in the very first round, Ciryl Gane poked the Briton in both eyes at the same time.
