Demetrious Johnson questions Tom Aspinall's UFC future after title vacating

Demetrious Johnson has shared his concerns regarding Tom Aspinall's future in the UFC following Aspinall's decision to vacate the Heavyweight title. Johnson described Aspinall's situation as 'tragic' after suffering significant eye injuries from Ciryl Gane. He highlighted the risks associated with Aspinall returning to competition, suggesting that opponents may seek to exploit the compromised condition of his eye. Johnson commended Aspinall for vacating the title to prevent stagnation within the division, raising questions about whether the move was voluntary or influenced by the UFC. With Gane now positioned as the new Heavyweight champion, the division faces uncertainty about Aspinall's potential return to the octagon.
