According to training partner Modestas Bukauskas, Tom Aspinall will be even more formidable after recovering from his eye injury. Aspinall suffered a nightmare eye injury due to an accidental poke from Ciryl Gane in October. This forced the cancellation of his first undisputed title defense. Some pundits have questioned if Aspinall will ever fight again.

Bukauskas believes the time off will make Aspinall a more dangerous fighter. The injury resulted in persistent double vision for the 32-year-old. The initial fight against Gane ended in a no-contest. UFC President Dana White has expressed interest in a rematch, but the fighter's return date is still uncertain.

After the injury, Aspinall required surgery. White's comments about Aspinall's condition have been vague. Aspinall was promoted to undisputed champion after Jon Jones retired. The heavyweight division awaits Aspinall's return.

This injury and recovery time could impact the heavyweight title picture. The division has been waiting for a clear leader. The rematch with Gane is highly anticipated. Fans are eager to see if Aspinall can maintain his top form after his recovery.
