In a strange turn of events, Tom AspinallHis training partner Ante Delija was accused of poking a hole in his eye ufc Fight on Saturday – a week later Aspinall’s fight was stopped when he suffered injuries to both eyes.,
Aspinall was defending the undisputed heavyweight title for the first time when, in the first round, Cyril Gane teased britain in both eyes at the same time,
The 32-year-old Aspinall was unable to continue the fight, and ufc 321 main events in Abu Dhabi were declared no contests.
And a week later, Deliza’s sophomore run in the UFC ended in chaos when she was judged to be on the other end of such a foul.
Deliza, also a heavyweight, was facing Waldo Cortes-Acosta on the Fight Night card in Las Vegas when it looked like he had defeated his opponent with a series of strikes.
Referee Mark Smith waved off the bout, but replays showed that Deliza had pushed Cortes-Acosta during the final sequence. So, Smith restarted the fight but first gave Cortes-Acosta time to recover.
When action resumed, Cortés-Acosta soon scored a TKO for the Croatian and won in the first round.
Delija, 35, complained about the episode on Instagram on Sunday, writing in Croatian: “I’m not sure I hit him in the eye, I think it’s near the eye and of course I want a video where you can see that knife!
“The referee did not show ‘time-out’, but stopped the fight and therefore declared me the winner. That decision cannot be changed later!”
“The opponent sat back while watching the footage! Replays were used after the stoppage – which the rules do not allow!! After all, the fight continued irregularly!”
“I ask for nothing but honesty. I don’t run away from defeat, I respect every opponent and every result. But not when the rules are broken and I am robbed. Not like this. The sport has not seen anything like this yet!!!”
Ahead of Saturday’s show, DeLiza said of Aspinall’s incident with Gane: “I think [Aspinall] You did a great job by not continuing, and if more fighters do the same thing, I think we can prevent the same thing from happening again,
“I don’t really understand. I’ve had 33 fights and I’ve never poked anyone in the eye. And I believe the punishment for this should be harsh.”
After Aspinall’s incident with Gane, UFC President Dana White Said that the match will be booked again as soon as possible. four days after the battleAspinall was still unable to see out of his right eye and his vision in his left was limited to “50 percent”.
Before UFC 321, Aspinall said He won’t fight with Deliza because of their friendshipBritton said he would give up his position, a potential move that White considered “crazy”. “I hate it,” the UFC president said.
