Tom Aspinall will undergo knee surgery after a freak injury ended his fight with Curtis Blaydes at UFC London after just 15 seconds.
Surging heavyweight Aspinall was looking to push himself one step closer to a title shot against perennial contender Blaydes last weekend, but the fight was over in seconds when Aspinall blew his knee out after throwing a leg kick. The 29-year-old went down in pain straight after landing the kick, clutching his knee in pain as the fight was waved off.
Four days on from the fight, Aspinall released an update video addressing his horror injury. The heavyweight revealed he will undergo surgery next week but is still unclear on the diagnosis of his injury. "Just a quick update on the knee situation because plenty of people are is asking about the diagnosis and what happened to the knee," he said.
