Aspinall may need surgery on both eyes before return<\/p>\n
For some reason, certain MMA fans and even Jones himself felt as though Aspinall was exaggerating his injuries and looking for a way out against Gane.<\/p>\n
However, his latest comments on The Ariel Helwani Show put all this speculation firmly to bed.<\/p>\n
Aspinall revealed that, as of now, he has not been given a potential timeline for making his return and his eyes have still not fully healed, despite being poked over a month ago now.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to get back as soon as possible, that\u2019s the plan,\u201d Aspinall said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey [the doctors] don\u2019t really know when I\u2019m going to be back at the moment. I\u2019m still not even cleared to train or do anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re talking about doing surgery on both eyes. I have to get an injection in the eyeball soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before his fight at UFC 321 ended inconclusively, Aspinall\u2019s last proper outing was all the way back in July 2024 against Curtis Blaydes.<\/p>\n
With Jones refusing to fight Aspinall before retiring and now the Englishman being injured as a result of Gane\u2019s foul, one of the most talented heavyweights in MMA history has had his career put on hold once again due to circumstances out of his control.<\/p>\n
