There is good news for the UFC heavyweight division and fans. Champion Tom Aspinall is getting ready to return to the octagon later this year.
Last year, after Jon Jones vacated his title and retired, Aspinall was elevated from interim to undisputed champion. However, his first title defense against Ciryl Gane ended in a disaster as he was double eye-poked in Round 1 at UFC 321 and could not continue.
Aspinall suffered serious injuries during his fight with Gane, and last month, he had surgery on both eyes. Due to complications following surgery, Aspinall was not cleared to even train.
