Michael Bisping, former UFC middleweight champion and now commentator and analyst, explained why Tom Aspinall, the promotion's heavyweight champion, should not rush back to the octagon after an eye injury sustained in the fight with Ciryl Gane.
For example, I rushed back. And it ended with a loss of vision. I had a detached retina, then another detachment. Then glaucoma started. Since then, the level of medicine has improved. But personally, doctors could not save my vision, despite doing their utmost. And now I'm blind. So I definitely know that the only thing you shouldn't do with an eye injury is to rush back.
