Joe Rogan roasts fans' reaction to Tom Aspinall's eye injury

Joe Rogan defended Tom Aspinall over the no contest in his first UFC heavyweight title defense, saying criticism ignored the severity of an eye injury. Speaking with Rico Verhoeven on his podcast, Joe Rogan said the champion could not see after an eye poke against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321. The bout was ruled a no contest, and Rogan noted Tom Aspinall later underwent double eye surgery. Rogan argued fan reactions were unfair and emphasized the foul-based stoppage. Aspinall is expected to meet Gane again after the Frenchman captured the interim title at UFC Freedom 250, according to the discussion.
