20+ min ago (423+ words) Aspinall was poked in both eyes by Ciryl Gane in their main event UFC heavyweight title clash in October Tom Aspinall has been diagnosed with a rare condition in both eyes and is not yet clear to return to action as he provided a worrying update on the injury he sustained in his heavyweight title defence against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321. Gane accidentally poked the Briton in both eyes towards the end of the first round of their bout in Abu Dhabi on 25 October, with replays supporting his post-fight complaint that the Frenchman's finger had gone "knuckle-deep" into his eye. The 32-year-old champion, making his long-awaited first defence as undisputed champion, could not continue and the fight was waved off as a no-contest before the first round could end. Aspinall has now issued his first substantial update on the status…...

1+ hour, 43+ min ago (429+ words) As Ben Whittaker strutted -- literally -- to the ring alongside rapper Dizzee Rascal in Birmingham on Saturday, you could feel the crowd didn't quite know what to make of it all. But Birmingham, a tough, hard-nosed, working-class English city, known for its role in the industrial revolution and, more recently the setting of Peaky Blinders, better get used to the fact they have a flashy, showy superstar on their doorstep. Whittaker (10-0-1, 7 KOs) knows he isn't everyone's cup of tea -- even promoter Eddie Hearn conceded he wasn't sure he liked him at first -- and he loves it. What you can't argue with is his savage knockout of Benjamin Gavazi, an experienced guy who was supposed to give him rounds, but didn't last three minutes. But boxing fans are tough to please. Fighters must have it all. If you talk a lot, you'd…...

2+ hour, 6+ min ago (199+ words) A female boxer is trending on social media for her controversial weigh-in outfit. Ebanie Bridges, a 39-year-old boxer, has trended on social media for the clothes she decides to wear to her weigh-ins - or, rather, the lack of clothes she chooses to wear. Bridges often shows up in her underwear. Male boxers do this all the time, too. However, for Bridges, she often sees herself trending on social media as a result. Some have called for her to wear more clothing when in front of the cameras. But despite the calls to change her outfits, Bridges is promising that she won't be giving it up anytime soon.

Dana White can't see a clear solution to the UFC's eye poke problem, but he insists the promotion has to try something after the controversy at UFC 321. The Aspinall-Gane incident has pushed the UFC boss to revisit the issue once again. "Getting poked in the eye by anybody isn't good," White said on the Triggernometry podcast." He noted that the promotion has already "messed around with gloves" and "tried to do all these things." While he doesn't believe eye pokes can ever be fully eliminated, he thinks stricter consequences could force fighters to be more aware. "If there's harder penalties for doing it, guys would be a lot more conscious of it." Still,…...
