Tom
Aspinall says recovering from multiple eye surgeries was more
painful than anything he has experienced, including a
vasectomy.
The
Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight king discussed the
aftermath of his bout against Ciryl Gane
during a recent podcast appearance, where he revealed the extent of
pain and inconvenience he faced due to his eye surgeries.
Tom Aspinall's eye surgeries and Ciryl Gane fight aftermath
explained
Aspinall’s UFC
321 bout against Gane ended in a no contest after multiple
accidental eye pokes left the heavyweight champion unable to
continue.
“I've had three [eye] surgeries,†Aspinall said on the “Great
Company with Jamie Lang†podcast. “I had one on the left and two on
the right. By the way, I've had the snip, right? I've had a
vasectomy, and I was thinking that has got to be the worst surgery
ever. Mate, compared to eye surgery, it is nothing. Honestly.â€
Aspinall further revealed that he had to remain awake while doctors
operated on his eyes.
“It's f*cking horrendous,†he recalled. “They kept me awake. They
put something on to keep your eyeball open… they numb your eye…
and they're coming at you with a scalpel or knife, whatever it's
called, and you're just watching them slice your eyeball open. It
was horrendous.â€
Aspinall admitted that his biggest concern immediately after the
fight was whether the damage would have long-term consequences.
“At first, I was super scared about it, to be honest,†Aspinall
said, noting that he initially feared the damage to his eye could
be permanent. “Especially the first two weeks. Yeah, I was really
scared about it.â€
The Brit then addressed the backlash he faced from fans for the
anticlimactic ending to the bout after many accused him of wanting
out of the fight following a strong start from Gane.
“If you're going to sit behind your phone and comment on the
toughness of a professional MMA fighter, then you don't really know
what you're talking about.â€
Aspinall has since revealed that he's ready to return to action,
with a rematch against interim champion Gane expected to go down
later this year.
Islam
Makhachev is leaving no stone unturned in preparation for his
first welterweight title defense, roping in fighters with a similar
build to Ian
Garry.
Makhachev is scheduled to put his
Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title on the line
against Garry in the main event of UFC
330 on Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The
Russian has reportedly brought in Alvarez from Spain to help him
get familiar with his upcoming Irish foe's frame.
Joel Alvarez helps Islam Makhachev prepare for Ian Garry's
height, range and distance game
While Makhachev is a heavy favorite going into UFC 330, a lot has
been made of Garry's defensive savviness and distance management.
Alvarez stands at 6-foot-2 and is also adept at fighting at a
distance and using his range as an advantage, which is likely why
he's been summoned to assist Makhachev. The Dagestani's teammate,
Professional Fighters League champion Usman
Nurmagomedov, has also been mimicking Garry ahead of UFC
330.
The former lightweight champion and current No.1 pound-for-pound
fighter previously praised Alvarez after his knockout win over
Thiago
Moises in 2021 and the Spaniard subsequently expressed
gratitude while revealing that he and his training partner would
role-play Makhachev and Khabib
Nurmagomedov during sparring.
Alvarez is 8-3 in the UFC with all of his losses coming against
elite opponents. The 33-year-old is coming off a submission defeat
to Yaroslav
Amosov at
UFC 328 this past May that snapped a four-fight winning
streak.
Alvarez's jiu jitsu coach, Tito Beltran, revealed the news on
Instagram while announcing that “El Fenomeno” won't be available
for a camp in August in Valencia, Spain.
Jessica
Andrade is not above working a regular job to make ends
meet.
The former
Ultimate Fighting Championship strawweight titleholder has been
sidelined for nearly a year while recovering from a shoulder
injury. During her hiatus from competition, the Brazilian has
turned to working as a delivery driver.
Jessica Andrade explains why she’s working as a delivery driver
during her UFC injury layoff
Andrade, who has fought 30 times in the UFC, winning the 115-pound
title and also challenging for the flyweight belt, has been away
from action for almost a year now. However, it hasn't stopped her
from finding alternate paths of income.
“Thank God I managed to save some money, so things are going well,â€
Andrade said in an interview with Ag Fight. “But whenever I need
to, I work as a delivery driver. I deliver meals and things like
that. I just pick up orders through an app and make the deliveries.
I do whatever it takes. I'm not afraid of hard work. I can do just
about anything.â€
She also took up another project recently, helping a friend
renovate their house.
“Recently I started a project at [a friend's] house, installing
artificial turf,†she said. “Her backyard was nothing but rocks. I
went there and removed all the rocks from the ground. I thought,
‘I'll give this a try. If I'm good at it, it's one more way we can
make some extra money whenever we need it.'â€
Andrade has spoken publicly about financial struggles before. In
2018, she revealed that she sold UFC memorabilia to help make ends
meet. She also disclosed that her former management failed to pay
taxes owed from several of her 2023 bouts.
While Andrade has yet to lock in her next fight, she remains
focused on her rehabilitation as she works towards her Octagon
return.
