Tom Aspinall wasn’t about to let Halloween pass quietly—especially not after what happened at UFC 321. The British heavyweight turned the spooky holiday into an opportunity to throw some creative shade at Ciryl Gane, the man responsible for one of the most frustrating nights of his career.

Just a week earlier, the highly anticipated heavyweight title fight between Aspinall and Gane ended in chaos. The bout was declared a no-contest after Gane accidentally poked Aspinall in both eyes, leaving him unable to see and unable to continue. The incident stunned fans and commentators alike, and Aspinall’s frustration was obvious as he stumbled out of the Octagon with his vision blurred and his championship hopes suddenly derailed.

Since then, updates from his camp have painted a grim picture—his right eye remains nearly useless, with only vague shapes visible, while his left eye has about half its usual vision. Doctors have advised patience, but recovery has been slow. Still, if there’s one thing Aspinall isn’t losing, it’s his sense of humor.

On Halloween night, the British star posted a photo of himself sporting an eye patch, alongside a digitally altered image of Ciryl Gane dressed as Freddy Krueger. The message was clear: Aspinall hasn’t forgotten who turned his October into a horror movie. The post quickly went viral among MMA fans, drawing laughter, sympathy, and plenty of heated debate.

While Gane has remained mostly silent about the incident, Aspinall’s cheeky jab reignited discussion about whether the no-contest should eventually lead to a rematch. Many fans have called for a do-over once Aspinall’s vision fully returns, believing that unfinished business still lingers between the two top heavyweights.

Aspinall, meanwhile, appears focused on recovery but determined to stay in the spotlight. He’s known for being one of the most well-rounded and likable fighters in the division—fast hands, crisp grappling, and an everyman personality that connects with fans. The Halloween stunt was classic Aspinall: a mix of wit, grit, and quiet defiance in the face of misfortune.

The incident also adds another layer to his growing rivalry with Gane. Their clash was supposed to solidify who the true heir to the heavyweight throne would be, but instead, it left more questions than answers. Aspinall’s post was more than just a joke—it was a reminder that he’s still here, still sharp, and still coming for that belt once he’s cleared to fight again.

For now, the British contender remains sidelined, waiting for his vision to return to normal. But judging by his Halloween performance, Tom Aspinall hasn’t lost his edge—or his appetite for payback.
