Tom Aspinall Has Double Eye Surgery, Doctors Target 'Fighting Fitness'

His medical team reports ongoing rehabilitation with no return date set.

Overview

  • Optegra Eye Health Care confirmed operations on both eyes and said they are working to restore the UFC heavyweight champion’s vision to “fighting fitness.”
  • Aspinall shared post‑operation images showing bloodshot eyes one day after surgery as he continues recovery from the October incident at UFC 321.
  • The UFC 321 title fight with Ciryl Gane was ruled a no contest after an accidental double eye poke left Aspinall unable to continue.
  • Aspinall has reported double or reduced vision consistent with a diagnosis of traumatic bilateral Brown’s syndrome, with specialists overseeing his clearance.
  • No timetable has been announced for a return, a Gane rematch is expected only after medical approval, and interim‑title ideas are being discussed while the division waits.
