"Eyekwondo" - Fans react to Sean O'Malley hilariously showing off his eye-poke technique in light of UFC 321 main event fiasco 

It looks like Sean O'Malley is still not over the eye-poke fiasco that ruined the UFC 321 main event between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane. 'Sugar' recently posted a video mocking eye-pokes in the sport, leaving the fans in stitches.

For context, Aspinall vs. Gane was ruled a no-contest after the Briton was unable to continue after being poked in both eyes by his opponent.

O'Malley, who believes Aspinall might miss out on a superfight with Jon Jones at the White House following the anticlimactic ending to UFC 321, has been particularly emphatic toward the heavyweight champion following the event.

Earlier this week, in a social media post, 'Sugar', once again trolled such fouls, demonstrating a more effective method of delivering eye pokes.

"Changing the game! One optometrist appointment at a time!"

"Looks like page 35 from the book, 'How to stay a top heavyweight with eye gouges', co-authored by Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier."

While Aspinall doesn't appear to have suffered any permanent eye damage, according to a post-fight examination, he has been advised to undergo a follow-up check-up in a week.

Sean O'Malley defends Tom Aspinall amid eye-poke controversy

Many in the MMA world, especially fans, haven't taken kindly to Tom Aspinall choosing not to continue fighting after being poked in the eye at UFC 321. Sean O'Malley, however, doesn't subscribe to this point of view.

Addressing the incident on his YouTube channel, O'Malley clapped back at the heavyweight champion's detractors, saying:

"It is hard to stand in front of a human being with that high level of skills and fight him with two eyes. Now you're going to get illegally poked in the eye... he got poked in the eye. That is an illegal strike. Illegal... it was an accident. To question Tom's toughness is insane. No one wanted that more than Tom As. He wanted to fight. He wanted to fight more than we wanted to watch him fight. So, it's hard. You can't question Tom's toughness. You just can't." [4:10 minutes into the interview]

Fortunately for UFC 321 headliners, CEO Dana White has confirmed that the fight will be rescheduled for a later date.
