It *ended in a No Contest (NC)* due to an *accidental eye poke* late in the first round. Here are the key details: *The Incident:* At the 4:35 mark of the first round, Ciryl Gane accidentally poked Tom Aspinall in *both eyes* during an exchange. *The Stoppage:* The fight was immediately halted. Aspinall was given the five-minute recovery time allowed for an accidental foul, but he repeatedly told the referee and cageside doctor that he was **unable to see**, particularly out of his right eye. *The Result:* Since the reigning champion, Aspinall, could not continue, and the foul was deemed accidental, the bout was officially declared a **No Contest**. *The Implication:* Because the fight was a No Contest, *Tom Aspinall retained his undisputed UFC Heavyweight Championship* as the title only changes hands in a victory. The fight was high-paced up to that point, with Gane having success with his jab and Aspinall returning fire, leading to a highly anticipated but ultimately anticlimactic ending. An immediate rematch is widely expected.
