Demetrious Johnson might be the best out there when it comes to fighters turned content creators. He\u2019s very active and has got his production values down. He\u2019s also very good with flashy titles and inquisitive thumbnails.<\/p>\n
Recently he used his skills to present his thoughts on Tom Aspinall vacating the UFC Heavyweight title. In his video, titled This is Truly Tragic\u2026<\/em> Johnson bemoaned the fact that Aspinall \u2014 one of the better Heavyweights we\u2019ve seen in this sport \u2014 may never fight again due to a fouls suffered at the hands fingers of Ciryl Gane.<\/p>\n The former UFC Flyweight champion gave his opinion on whether he thought we would ever see Aspinall compete again.<\/p>\n \u201cLogically, deep down in my gut; I would say no,\u201d he said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t risk the opportunity of me losing my vision, not being able to see my children. He could potentially lose one [eye]. I\u2019m thinking worst case scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n Johnson went on to say that he thought just a fight camp presented plenty of danger to Aspinall.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen it comes to training, that eye is always going to be comprised,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt can get scraped. [It can] get eye poked again in training. You [can] get eye-poked in fighting again. Is he willing to take that risk? I wouldn\u2019t take that risk, but then again, Tom probably has bigger balls than me. And I\u2019m OK with that.\u201d<\/p>\n Should Aspinall make a fighting return, Johnson cautioned that opponents might be looking to target his very well-known and very exposed injury.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s say he\u2019s fighting somebody and somebody goes, \u2018I\u2019m going to target that motherf**king eye\u2019, which, legally they can do that.; he could potentially lose his eye,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cEven if his cells get rejuvenated and all that stuff, his eye is now a compromised target that, if I was fighting Tom Aspinall, I would bust that f**king eye out.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m popping that eye the entire time,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n Johnson also said it was \u2018admirable\u2019 of Aspinall to vacate his title, so as to not hold-up the division. Given that Dana White recently discussed stripping Aspinall due to inactivity, one has to wonder whether Aspinall jumped to this decision or whether he was pushed.<\/p>\n With Aspinall relinquishing his belt, that means Gane \u2014 the man who caused these horrible injuries \u2014 is our new Heavyweight champion. That\u2019s gotta sting.<\/p>\n
