Josh
Hokit isn’t buying Tom
Aspinall’s claims regarding his eye issues.

Aspinall hasn’t fought since his
Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title defense
against Ciryl Gane
ended in a no contest in October 2025. The Englishman was unable to
continue after Gane poked him in both eyes in the first round.
Aspinall recently vacated the title amid further issues with his
right eye. Hokit, however, claims the former champ is faking his
injury in an attempt to leave the UFC.

Josh Hokit claims Tom Aspinall is exaggerating his eye injury
to get out of his UFC contract

Hokit claims Aspinall is exaggerating the seriousness of his eye
injury. The undefeated American suggested that Aspinall is looking
for a way out of his UFC contract and speculated that he could be
pursuing a lucrative move to boxing instead.

“Honestly, I don’t even think that sh*t’s real,” Hokit told Ariel
Helwani. “I think he has his teammates farting on his pillow, then
he goes to sleep, gets pink eye, posts that shit on Instagram like,
‘Hey, everybody, feel bad for me. I can’t fight still.’ He has fake
surgery, all that other sh*t. I think he’s just trying to get out
of his deal, if I’m being 100% honest… That sh*t is all fake, gang.
It’s not real. I don’t know if he’s paying doctors, but I think
he’s trying to get that bag in boxing.”

Meanwhile, Gane (14-2) has been promoted to undisputed champion
after Aspinall vacated the title. The Frenchman is scheduled to
defend his title against Hokit (9-0) at UFC
334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
