Tom Aspinall headlined another big fight card (UFC London) at his home. The British heavyweight was up against Curtis Blaydes, a bona fide UFC heavyweight contender. However, the bout was not what anybody would’ve expected.

Coming into the bout, the Brit was riding an 8-fight MMA win streak and a five-fight unblemished UFC win streak. Whereas, the Elevation Fight Team athlete won his last two bouts against top heavyweight contenders.

At the beginning of the bout, Curtis Blaydes started countering the aggressive British athlete. However, it wasn’t his counters but a freak injury that put away the rising contender.

During one exchange, Aspinall abruptly fell to the ground, though there wasn’t any significant strike thrown by his American counterpart. While reviewing the tape, it appeared that the heavyweight fighter pop his knee.
