Cormier supports Rogan's defense of Aspinall's decision against Gane

Daniel Cormier expressed support for Joe Rogan's defense of UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, who could not continue his title fight against Ciryl Gane due to an eye poke during UFC 321 in October. Cormier emphasized that Aspinall made the right decision to protect his championship, especially considering Gane's early success in the bout. Aspinall underwent double eye surgery after the incident, which resulted in the fight being declared a no contest. Gane later won the interim heavyweight title by finishing Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250 in June, and a rematch between Aspinall and Gane is anticipated later this year.
