Israel Adesanya sounds off on Tom Aspinall drama

Israel Adesanya is the latest to offer their condolenses to Tom Aspinall .
It has been a week since Aspinall was forced to vacate his UFC heavyweight title due to lingering issues with his injured eye. The injury came during his last appearance in the cage last year and has worsened despite several surgeries. The 33-year-old is now committed to getting healthy, and it's got fans talking.
The latest to join in the conversation is Israel Adesanya, who was saddened by the events that unfolded around the Brit. With Tom Aspinall unable to train, and rumors swirling regarding his future in the sport, Adesanya had this to say:
"So, his eye is in a position, or in a state, where even if he gets hit hard during training, it can affect his eye, and then that way he's not going to be able to show up. That sucks, man."
