Tom Aspinall celebrates Halloween by taking a jab at Ciryl Gane. UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall decided to have a little fun this Halloween, and took a playful shot at Ciryl Gane while doing it. Tom Aspinall didn’t just sit quietly after his unusual draw with Ciryl Gane at UFC 321, he turned the controversy into his own brand of theatre.
On Friday, Aspinall celebrated the Halloween festivities by posting a few images to his social media mocking the situation, he posted photos of himself wearing an eye patch and mocked Gane by likening him to horror-movie villain Freddy Krueger. The fight that many fans wanted was overshadowed by the bizarre turn of events. During the clash for the undisputed heavyweight title, Gane unintentionally poked Aspinall in both eyes, leaving the champion unable to continue. The fight stopped early and was officially ruled a no-contest.
Aspinall’s Halloween joke shows he’s keeping his sense of humor despite the situation. Fans online took it as a lighthearted way of saying the rivalry with Gane is far from over and many are already calling for a rematch once Aspinall’s eyes fully heal.
There’s still no clear update on how serious Aspinall’s condition is, but it definitely doesn’t seem easy. Earlier this week, his father revealed that Aspinall is still experiencing vision problems. Despite the setback, Tom Aspinall’s humor and resilience have kept fans hopeful. His playful Halloween jab at Gane shows that he’s not letting the incident break his spirit. Instead, he’s using the moment to stay connected with supporters while he heals. As the UFC heavyweight picture remains uncertain, one thing is clear, when Aspinall returns, he’ll have unfinished business to settle inside the octagon.
