UFC legend Daniel Cormier stands by Ciryl Gane's integrity, refuting Tom Aspinall's 'cheater' label following the eye poke controversy. Cormier, a former champion, believes that eye pokes are often accidental and that Aspinall's accusations are unjustified. The incident occurred during their UFC 321 bout, where Aspinall suffered multiple eye injuries and has been labeled a 'cheater' by the fighter. Cormier, who has experienced similar incidents in his career, advocates for a fair assessment of the situation, questioning Aspinall's certainty in his claims. The potential for an interim title fight between Gane and another top contender looms, but the UFC has yet to make a decision. Aspinall's ongoing feud with Gane has sparked debate, with Cormier's perspective adding a layer of complexity to the controversy. The question remains: is Gane a cheater, or was it an unfortunate accident? The outcome could impact the future of the UFC's heavyweight division.
