Tom Aspinall suffers freak leg injury in TKO loss to Curtis Blaydes at UFC London

Tom Aspinall suffered a shock defeat as he injured his leg just seconds into his heavyweight fight against Curtis Blaydes in the main event of UFC London.

Aspinall, 29, had won five UFC fights all by finish heading into his main event clash against Blaydes. The Brit started the fight by landing some good leg kicks whilst Blaydes returned with some good shots of his own. After landing a kick on Aspinall's thigh, the Brit went down grasping his knee in pain and the fight was waved off.

Aspinall was immediately tended to by medical staff as he lay on his back in the middle of the cage. It is the second fight in as many months to be stopped in this manner after Aleksandar Rakic suffered a bad knee injury against former light-heavyweight world champion Blachowicz.
