Alexander Volkov blasts to Ciryl Gane calling Tom Aspinall “mentally fragile”:
“I can say the same about Gane, honestly. Watch his fight with Jon Jones. He just gave up before the fight.
He does dirty things. He puts his finger in an opponent’s eye and then says, ‘This guy is mentally fragile because I poked him and he doesn’t want to fight.’
You cheated. That’s not within the rules.
If he didn’t do this, if he just punched him hard or did something legal, then he could say that. But he created a situation where the champion needed surgery and now can’t fight.
Then in another fight with Pereira, he started punching the back of the head. I can’t say he does it on purpose, but he keeps doing it.”
