Tom Aspinall faces new setback in comeback from eye injury

Tom Aspinall is unable to fight at UFC 334 due to re-aggravating his injured right eye during training. Aspinall was set for a rematch against Ciryl Gane on November 14 at Madison Square Garden but reported that his eye condition has returned to an earlier state of impairment. This setback follows a string of complications related to his eye injuries suffered during a previous match against Gane. Medical assessments have advised a period of rest for healing, with expectations for a potential return in January 2027. Meanwhile, the heavyweight division continues to progress, with Gane already engaged in title discussions against other contenders.
