UFC 321
Tom Aspinall's UFC heavyweight title fight against Ciryl Gane ended in a 'no contest' after the Englishman suffered an eye injury in the opening round.
Aspinall was expected to face a tough UFC title defence against the Frenchman, but the fight was swiftly in doubt as the champion started bleeding heavily, just a minute into the contest in Abu Dhabi.
Gane appeared to catch Aspinall's right eye with his fingers after a powerful punch and during a five-minute timeout, the Salford fighter was seen telling the cage-side doctor that he 'can't see'.
The doctor reiterated that he had 'no concerns' about the globe of Aspinall's eye, but after four of the five allocated timeout minutes had expired, the referee had no choice but to call off the bout as a no contest, with Aspinall unable to continue.
The result means Aspinall retains his belt, with an immediate rematch expected, but there were boos from the crowd after the result was announced.


Thanks for the news, but I haven't made predictions for Arsenal games for a long time. Arsenal and Manchester United don't seem like fair football clubs to me. I'd rather bet on La Liga matches.
