“If he stays here (in the hospital), I need to see him on Monday. If he doesn’t stay, he should see someone in two days. Of course, you should stop fighting until you are well again and until you are cleared by the ophthalmology department on our side. Not after this one, but at the next visit. Regarding his vision, I think everything will be fine; we didn’t find anything dangerous,” declared the doctor responsible for treating Aspinall in Abu Dhabi after… UFC 321.
In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Aspinall reveals the moments he arrives at the hospital and begins receiving medical treatment.
