Tom Aspinall’s Team Shares Disturbing Update After UFC 321 Main Event

Days later, a disturbing update has surfaced from Team Aspinall regarding his condition. In a clip shared by Full Send MMA, the fighter’s father spoke candidly about the extent of his son’s vision problems — and the details are far more serious than anyone expected.

‘His right eye he can’t see anything,’ Aspinall’s father revealed. ‘He says it’s just grey. His left eye is about 50% — he saw about four letters on the test and couldn’t see anything after.’

The chilling description has left fans deeply concerned for the heavyweight contender’s health. Aspinall’s father added that the team remains hopeful for improvement, but recovery has been slow, and uncertainty hangs over the future.

The incident, which occurred during the first round of the UFC 321 main event, sparked frustration across the MMA community. Many pointed out the unfortunate timing of the injury, as Aspinall had been out of action for over a year and was finally set to reestablish himself atop the heavyweight division.

UFC officials have not yet released a formal medical statement regarding Aspinall’s condition, but his father’s comments suggest the damage could be significant. As fans and fighters rally behind the British standout, concern continues to grow about whether this injury could have lasting effects.

For now, Team Aspinall’s update has shifted the focus from rankings and rivalries to recovery and reality — a reminder of the risks fighters face every time they step into the Octagon.
