Michael Bisping questions the length of Tom Aspinall’s eye surgery recovery
UFC commentator Michael Bisping had some interesting thoughts recently when discussing Tom Aspinall’s recovery from eye surgery.
As we know, Tom Aspinall has been on the shelf since suffering a nasty double eye poke at the hands of Ciryl Gane. While the Frenchman has gone on to be rewarded with an interim heavyweight title shot, Tom has been back at home recovering from surgery.
As you can imagine, given the unpredictable nature of mixed martial arts fans, Aspinall has caught his fair share of stick for what went down, with many not believing he was as injured as he claims.
In a recent podcast, Michael Bisping became the latest fighter to weigh in on Aspinall’s time away from active competition.
Bisping on Aspinall’s injury recovery
“I’ve got to choose my words carefully here, but he just said he’s still not cleared to fight,” Bisping said of Aspinall. “But he’s been very vague with the details. … I had a surgery. It was a very, very serious surgery. It’s called scleral buckle – look it up online. It’s gross, what they do to the eyeball.
“I don’t know what he had, but he hasn’t talked about that. I had that surgery, recovered, came back and had a fight in a shorter amount of time than what it’s taking this whole eye poke saga. I don’t know. You look between the lines, there’s something f*cking weird going on. That’s what it looks like. That’s what it sounds like.”
