UFC fan favourite Matt Brown has called for instant disqualifications to tackle eye pokes, after Tom Aspinall’s title defence on Saturday ended in an early No Contest.
Aspinall was poked in both eyes at the same time by Ciryl Gane, who was challenging the Briton for the UFC heavyweight title, and Aspinall could not continue fighting after the accidental foul. As such, the bout was ruled a No Contest in the very first round, and Aspinall was taken to a local hospital in Abu Dhabi.
