Alex Pereira, the UFC light heavyweight champion, commented on the criticism against Tom Aspinall, who was accused of faking an eye injury in the fight with Ciryl Gane

"When the fight was stopped, he began to complain. Some did not believe him, others just threw mud at him. Listen, it's no joke with health. I see it this way: the guy is a fighter, he will not fake such things. But he has now returned after an operation. I saw the photo he published, his eye was all red. It even scared me a bit. Eyes are a very delicate matter," Pereira said.
