Tom Aspinall has taken aim at Ciryl Gane as their feud continues to take shape.<\/p>\n

Aspinall was defending his heavyweight title for the first time at UFC 321 back in October against Gane. It was a highly anticipated fight, and early on, Gane was having success. However, Gane poked Aspinall in both of his eyes, and the champ said he couldn\u2019t see, so the fight was ruled a No Contest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the fight, White confirmed a rematch<\/a> would happen, but taking to Threads, Gane revealed he has yet to get a date or fight offer for the rematch.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill no date or opponent yet. But we keep grinding and training hard before the holidays with my man Tai Tuivasa,\u201d Gane wrote.<\/p>\n

Following Gane saying he doesn\u2019t have a date for his next fight, Aspinall fired back at the Frenchman. But, he vowed that once he is cleared to fight, he will smash Gane in the rematch.<\/p>\n

Tom Aspinall fires back at Ciryl Gane<\/p>\n

\u201cNo shit there\u2019s not a date yet,\u201d Aspinall responded<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m not medically cleared to fight and about to have surgery thanks to your disgusting fingernails. \u00a0I\u2019ll be back to smash your face in soon you cheat.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no love lost between Aspinall and Gane, which will only add to the intrigue of the bout. But, until Aspinall is cleared, the two won\u2019t fight anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Aspinall has given medical updates on his eyes since the fight, as he isn\u2019t medically cleared. He also didn\u2019t understand why people took aim at him for not continuing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t continue, and I\u2019ll tell you why,\u201d Aspinall said. \u201cBecause I\u2019m not a f\u2014ing dummy. I\u2019m not going to go out there and fight one of the best strikers in the world when I can\u2019t see with one eye. I know, as an MMA fighter, things are going to happen in a fight that compromises you. If it\u2019s a legal move, you have to fight through it. That\u2019s what we do as a fighter. But if it\u2019s illegal, why am I going to put my health at risk when I can\u2019t see at all?\u201d<\/p>\n

Aspinall 15-3 and one NC as a pro. Before the NC to Gane, he beat Curtis Blaydes by first-round knockout to defend his interim heavyweight title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Aspinall has taken aim at Ciryl Gane as their feud continues to take shape.
