Tom Aspinall has hailed "true gentleman" Curtis Blaydes after his rival visited him for a drink following his freak leg injury.
Aspinall accepted the challenge of heavyweight contender Blaydes at UFC London last weekend as he looked to take one step further up the division's rankings. However his night ended in disaster with just 10 seconds on the clock, when he suffered a serious-looking knee injury following a kick on his rival's thigh.
The British star received treatment in the octagon from medical staff and was carried away on a stretcher ending his night in TKO defeat. After the fight, his rival Blaydes came to his dressing room and the pair were seen sharing a beer and talking through the unfortunate events of their short meeting.
