The coach of the former UFC interim heavyweight champion, Ciryl Gane, Fernand Lopez, commented on the outcome of his protege's fight against the current full title holder Tom Aspinall.
Recall that their fight at the UFC 322 tournament was declared a no contest due to an eye poke by Gane.
"We want to have a rematch with Aspinall as soon as possible. Ciryl looked good, everything was going according to plan for us. Absolutely. Unfortunately, if the opponent can't see—he can't see, there's nothing we can do about it. But I'm very disappointed.
Disappointed because Ciryl knows it was his day. On that day, he would have defeated Aspinall, and he knew it," Lopez said.
