Alex Pereira doesn’t buy into the conspiracy theory going around that Tom Aspinall is faking his eye injury.
Alex Pereira doesn’t buy into that stuff.
“[Some] didn’t believe him, others just trashed him,” Pereira said in a video with Valter Walker (via Red Corner MMA). “Look, I don’t mess around with health, man. I see it, like, this guy’s a fighter, he’s not gonna fake something like that.”
“But the guy is back now after surgery. I saw the photo that he posted. Man, his eye was all red. It even scared me a bit. The eye is really delicate, you know?”
Uncrowned’s Petesy Carroll was with Aspinall for the latest treatment and reports Tom still can’t train or even drive his car. He’s got a big black spot in the middle of his vision and has to turn his whole body to see things on the periphery.
“We are talking about some things,” Pereira revealed. “My next fight, we’ve already started conversations. It took a little while, but it’s very close to something being announced.”
