Alistair Overeem Says Tom Aspinall Made the Right Call Stopping Ciryl Gane Fight

Former UFC heavyweight defended Aspinall’s decision to stop his title defense against Gane after suffering a severe eye poke during their clash on 25 October. “If you’re in a fight and you feel pain, that means it’s serious,” Overeem said, noting the injury could’ve caused “excruciating pain.” He added that a rematch is warranted, as the eye poke was accidental.
