UFC 321, October 25th, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
- Thread starter kickserv
- Start date
1. Well you were wrong, so when you say "guess who is right" you are obviously talking about kickserv.
2. He did not quit/find "a way out", he had 5 minutes to recover from a really really bad double eye poke, he couldn't see within the 5 minutes and that was it, simple as that. So yep, you were wrong on that one as well.
3. You can't seem to grasp the fact that the injury doesn't have to be severe, the only thing that matters is he couldn't see for 5 minutes after the nasty double eye poke. Not sure why this is so hard for you to grasp.
4. Funny how you like to talk about Gane "owning him" (which is total bullshit) but you won't mention the fact that Gane put three fingers in his eye socket, I find that amusing, it was a cheap shot, yet you seem to gloss over that fact.
Besides that, you got everything else right.
As mentioned above not sure why Tom had to act like his eyeballs were falling out 24 hours later, just say your vision is fine and move on, all that matters is you had blurry vision for 5 minutes after the nasty double eye poke. Him trying to act like he is now totally blind is just stupid and makes the situation worse. Just say you are fine and move on, sheesh🤦♀️

Nothing to justify, he didn't quit, Gane was the reason the fight was stopped, it was a cheap shot (Gane has done eye pokes in the past). All the blame is on Gane, it had nothing to do with Tom, he couldn't see, and that was that, Gane is the one to blame.
Tom destroyed every fighter he fought in the UFC, absolutely destroyed all of them, smashed em all. Nobody has come close to beating him, he's the best HW on the planet. He isn't going to quit any MMA fight that lasted under 4 minutes when he stood to make millions with another vicious knock-out.
Jon Jones ducked him for fucks sake, Jones wanted nothing to do with him, Jones ran away from him, yet you think a he just faked an injury and quit, yeah ok 🤦♀️
Oh and Tom knows the HW division sucks, he knows he's lucky he is in that shit division, he ain't going to fake an injury and quit when he knows he has it so good.
Again, fight lasted under 4 minutes, yet you think he quit, holy shit🤦♀️
kick, you are correct on this being Gane's fault. If he doesn't double eye poke Tom, the fight continues.
The uproar is that after getting poked and Tom saying, he can't see, he was not doing everything in his power to keep the fight going. He had his eye covered with a cloth saying I can't see. No shit. He wasn't blinking, rubbing or actively trying to clear his vision. The ring doctor looked at it and told the ref, There is nothing wrong with the globe to stop the fight. The doc didn't stop this fight, Tom did.
So when we say Tom quit, it could be said another way, Tom wasn't trying to get back into the fight. The UFC Heavy Weight Champion got double eye poked and then covered his eye for 5 minutes. If that had been a knuckle, he'd look like the biggest pussy ever.
Chael has a take on it -

He couldn't see, his vision was compromised, thus the fight was stopped, it is as simple as that.
If you think he was lying and faking then I think you are dead wrong. It was a nasty double eye poke, he was unable to recover in the 5 minutes given to him, and that was all because of what Gane did.
You want to blame anybody, blame Gane, he was the one responsible for all of it.
Did you get double eye poked because you are having a hard time seeing what I typed?
Are you quitting too? I mean, are you unable to continue? Do we need to wave this off so you can go to the hospital and then get caught looking fine at the doctor but decide to pretend to not be able to see once you see the cameras on? All of this 4 hours after the fight when you couldn't see?
jfc kick - pull your head out of your ass and your eyesight will get better.
Jim Miller had a good take. Take a point and a percentage of the purse for every eye poke and he bets people learn to close their hands. The only stipulation is if you get eye poked and don't continue in the fight, you don't get the money nor the point deduction since it will be a no-contest. You have to continue to get the payoff.
Gane is to blame. Tom didn't try to continue. both facts.

I saw what you typed, my eyesight is fine.
You think Tom vision was fine and he was faking the result of a double eye poke.
I think you are wrong.
Tom didn't quit, he couldn't see and under the rules the fight was stopped.
Oh and the "Gane is to blame. Tom didn't try to continue. both facts." is half right.....Gane is to blame, that is a fact, the other point was incorrect, thus not a fact.
your saying he couldn't see is the same as me saying he didn't try to continue.
they're either both facts
or both opinions
you don't know if could see or not and he didn't do anything to prove he couldn't see
<Insert Dave Chapelle - Gotcha Bitch>
Wait. Shit. Looks like I was wrong. There was a medical update. Not from the previous two doctors but from his Dad.

The Aspinall team put this out -
These guys could be the inspiration for Bud Lights Real Men of Genius.
Some short hand research - Since 2015 there have been roughly 7500 UFC bouts and 25 have ended early due to eye pokes.
Hopefully some rule changes come out of this. Maybe all fighters will be forced to wear rec-specs
It's a joke dumbass

Tom Aspinall unable to see out of right eye 3 days after UFC 321 controversy, says father: 'It's bad'
Aspinall is still suffering significant vision problems three days after his no-contest against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321, the heavyweight champion's father and coach said Tuesday.

He got a nasty poke in both eyes.
He had 5 minutes to get his vision back.
It didn't happen.
Fight was called off.
Ya can't see, you don't fight, and none of that is Aspinall fault, it was all on Gane.
Eyespinall 😂😂😂
Looks like my take on the situation from the get is gaining a lot of momentum. I hope he never lives this down and gets destroyed whenever that eye “heals” which technically it was never injured. My boy, Jiri had the perfect comment.

When you get multiple fingers in both eyes and you can't see that qualifies as an injury.

You love to blame the guy that received a nasty double eye poke but not the guy who inflicted the injury. You haven't said a word about Gane and his cheap shot and the fact that Gane has done this multiple times to multiple opponents.
I find that amusing, yep bash the guy who temporarily lost his vision but not the guy that caused it.
The only person responsible for the fight being done after 4 minutes was Gane, it was all on him. He is the only one responsible for all of this.
65 and Josh right, kickserv is wrong.
Eyespinall confirmed a quitter. An embarrassment to the toughest athletes in the world. No injury confirmed by multiple outlets. Fight should have continued. He quit bc he was getting clobbered.
