The aftermath of UFC 321 continues to unfold after a chaotic main event that saw Tom Aspinall accidentally poked in both eyes, bringing an abrupt end to the long-awaited heavyweight clash. What was meant to be a triumphant return quickly turned into confusion and frustration, as the fight was waved off and ruled a no contest — leaving fans stunned and searching for answers.
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.
