Tom Aspinall cleared to resume training, awaits Pereira vs. Gan winner

Tom Aspinall revealed that his eye injury is healing and he expects to receive medical clearance soon to return to full contact training. According to Aspinall, the UFC has informed him that his next fight will be against the winner of the upcoming Alex Pereira versus Ciryl Gane bout. Aspinall stated that he wants those two fighters to compete first, recover from their fight, and then when everyone is ready, they can schedule his next bout. This suggests Aspinall is in line for a significant heavyweight matchup, likely a title eliminator or title fight. The timeline depends on when Pereira and Gane fight and how long their recovery takes.
