- UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has undergone a second eye operation for an injury sustained from Ciryl Gane's eye pokes in October.
- This contradicts UFC President Dana White's earlier claim that Aspinall was receiving injections rather than surgery.
- Aspinall had an initial operation over the Christmas period and has not received any injections, nor is he due to.
- Photographs of the latest surgery were shared by Aspinall via Optegra Eye Health Care, who are assisting with his recovery.
- Aspinall's fighting future remains uncertain as he recovers from the injury, which ended his first undisputed-title defence in the opening round.
