Tom Aspinall Pursues UFC Comeback Amid Eye Injury Concerns

Tom Aspinall is aiming for a return to the UFC, but he must first prove his fitness to a commission due to lingering concerns over an eye injury. His manager, Eddie Hearn, confirmed that Aspinall is in discussions about his comeback.

Aspinall suffered eye injuries from an incident with Ciryl Gane last October, requiring multiple surgeries. He is targeting a fight before the end of the year, with UFC 334 in New York on November 14 being a potential date.

Hearn emphasized the seriousness of Aspinall's injuries and the need for additional testing before he can compete again. Despite rumors about leaving the UFC, Aspinall remains under contract and is focused on returning to the octagon as soon as he is cleared.
