Aspinall put his heavyweight title on the line against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 in October 2025. The fight ended in an anticlimactic no contest after Gane simultaneously poked Aspinall in both eyes in the first round. Aspinall was unable to continue despite taking four out of the five allotted minutes to recover.

Aspinall’s has since vowed to give up his nice persona. “Honey Badger” has slammed Gane online for not trimming his fingernails. However, Pimblett believes Aspinall is still too nice to Gane. Pimblett would have given Gane a profanity-filled earful had he been in Aspinall’s shoes. While Pimblett didn’t dislike Gane before, he now considers the Frenchman a dirty fighter after watching highlights of his older fights.
Not An Accident
“You’re always too nice, lad,” Pimblett told Aspinall. “I would have said, ‘You dirty, horrible, big c—t. I would have got well more swear words out there then that. What I said is wash your f—-ing fingersnails, you stuffy c—t. I never used to mind Ciryl Gane. I used to like watching him fight. But then when you watch his fights, he hits people in the back of the head, kicks people in the balls, pokes people in the eye, it’s not an accident when you do it that many times.”
Highlights of Gane’s (13-2) illegal blows have gone viral since his no contest against Aspinall. Meanwhile, Aspinall (15-3) is currently expected to undergo surgery in both eyes, leaving no potential timeline for his return yet.
