Sean O’Malley Defends Tom Aspinall’s Toughness After Eye Poke Controversy

O’Malley stood up for heavyweight champion Aspinall (15-3) after critics questioned his toughness following the eye poke in his UFC 321 no-contest against Gane (13-2). “To question Tom’s toughness is insane,” O’Malley said. “You could probably break Tom’s arm, and he’d keep fighting.” He praised Aspinall’s grit, adding the champ “wanted to fight more than we wanted to watch.”
