Tom Aspinall posted his first video on UFC 321 from last month.
In his first defense of the undisputed UFC heavyweight title, the champion couldn’t continue after being simultaneously poked in both eyes by Ciryl Gane.
Aspinall’s father provided an update on his son’s health days after the incredibly disappointing end to what the Brit hoped would be the start of more regular activity.
After the fight, both fighters faced criticism. Some questioned whether the fight should have been stopped while others called on rule changes that were significant.
Aspinall answered fans’ questions via his YouTube channel after sharing medical records showing the damage he had suffered.
