Tom Aspinall trolls Ciryl Gane’s foul-prone reputation in training video

Tom Aspinall is preparing for a rematch against Ciryl Gane

Aspinall (15-3)  recently posted a video mocking Gane (14-2) over his reputation for using illegal shots. Aspinall posted a clip showing Gane hitting opponents with low blows, eye pokes and back-of-the-head shots. Aspinall then shows himself wearing a metallic groin guard and a motorcycle helmet to shield himself against Gane.

“Training for the rematch has begun,” Aspinall wrote in the caption of an Instagram post.

Gane has been accused of throwing illegal blows on multiple occasions. Gane challenged Pereira for the heavyweight title at UFC 320 this past October. The fight ended in an unfortunate no contest after a double eye poke from Gane in the first round rendered Aspinall unable to continue. With Aspinall sidelined due to his eye injury, Gane fought Alex Pereira for the interim heavyweight title earlier this month. While Gane finished “Poatan” in the second round, the Frenchman has been accused of throwing several back-of-the-head shots in the finishing sequence. Gane is now expected to challenge Aspinall in a title unifier when the Englishman returns to action.
