Tom Aspinall has vowed to come back stronger than ever after suffering a horror knee injury at UFC London.
Aspinall was facing arguably the toughest test of his career when he was set to do battle with heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes in the main event at UFC London. The British star picked up a good win over Alexander Volkov in the promotion's last instalment of the hallmark event in the UK, and he was looking to push himself one step closer to an eventual title shot.
The fight began with Aspinall roared on by a raucous home crowd after a spectacular ring walk. Aspinall began by landing some good leg kicks in the early seconds of the opening round, but his all-action start was short lived. Aspinall received a few good shots back from Blaydes, but the Briton landed a kick to his rival's thigh before falling to the ground clutching his knee.
