Tom Aspinall Shares Major Update After Vacating UFC Heavyweight Belt

Tom Aspinall, 33, has vacated the UFC heavyweight championship following a difficult injury period that required double eye surgery. The injury stemmed from his title bout against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321, where Aspinall was poked in both eyes late in the first round and could not continue. A planned return fight against Gane at UFC 334 was derailed by the setback, and Aspinall is now focused on eliminating distractions to aid his recovery.
