Tom Aspinall, Ciryl Gane and the UFC will most likely reschedule their fight after UFC 321 ended in disaster. UFC CEO Dana White announced that the match will be rebooked as soon a possible. He also provided an encouraging health update for Aspinall. The mixed martial arts industry was shocked on Oct. 25, after UFC 321’s final round ended prematurely. Gane was impressive early on against the UFC Heavyweight Champion, but a double eye poke left Aspinall unable continue before Round 1 ended. The fight was officially declared a no contest. White said on “The Jim Rome Show” that she was “devastated.” “It’s brutal when your main fight is getting hot and looking like it’ll turn out to be a good fight but ends in an eye poke.” He is recovering at home. As soon as we know he can fight again, the rematch will be scheduled.”If there is a silver lining to this, it is that Gane has become a more credible opponent the second time. The early success of Gane against Aspinall caught the attention of many, and there are no other heavyweight contenders, so their fight is arguably more exciting than ever.
White refused to commit to a fight timeline, but gave an encouraging update on Aspinall’s condition. White said that Aspinall had not suffered a detached retina, or any long-term serious eye damage.White stated that “as far as we are aware, he does not have a retinal tear, and there is no damage to his eye.” White said, “He’ll be up and about soon. We’ll decide when to fight him again.”Whatever the outcome of their second match, the problem at heavyweight persists. There are not many compelling contenders. Aspinall, who has already beaten four out of the five current leaders, is a strong contender to win. Jailton Almeida, No. The No. 5 is coming off of a lifeless defeat to Alexander Volkov where Almeida looked lost.
Volkov’s case is the strongest on paper. He is 5-1 in the last six matches, with the only blemish a split decision loss against Gane. Waldo Cortes Acosta is the next fighter. Last week, Aspinall’s training partner Ante Delija was knocked out by Waldo Cortes Acosta (No. Jon Jones is the most prominent option, but no one will go to the trouble of securing it. Jones repeatedly criticized interim heavyweight champion Aspinall when he was heavyweight champion. Aspinall never got his unification match. Jones vacated his title in June before retiring. However, he returned to the ring shortly after Aspinall was crowned undisputed champion. Jones confessed on Thursday to having reneged upon a verbal contract to fight Aspinall.
“I give Dana his space.” Jones said to “No Scripts” that they had a verbal deal which didn’t work out. “Nothing has been finalized.” The way the events unfolded, I was in error. I would like to apologize in person. Jones retired from boxing with the intention of fighting light heavyweight Alex Pereira in the White House event. Jones is unlikely to agree to face Aspinall, as both fighters have publicly called for a heavyweight non-title fight. White publicly said that there is a “billion-to-one” chance Jones will compete at the White House following the collapse of the Aspinall negotiation.
Aspinall has no desire to work with Jones, after two years in which his career was largely stalled due to Jones’ refusal to fight him.
