Dec 1 : Briton Tom Aspinall said he has been diagnosed with Brown’s syndrome in both eyes and is not cleared to fight after an accidental eye poke ended his UFC heavyweight title defence against Ciryl Gane in a no-contest in October.

Aspinall posted a medical report on his Instagram account on Sunday showcasing he is having double vision, reduced eye motility, visual function and a substantial field loss.
