‘I’m not risking my ranking’ - Curtis Blaydes won’t rematch Tom Aspinall after injury TKO at UFC London

Curtis Blaydes is uninterested in a rematch with Tom Aspinall despite the unfortunate ending of their fight at UFC London on Saturday.

Blaydes notched a 15-second TKO over Aspinall after the Team Kaobon product blew out his knee on a kick. Although he got the win, ‘Razor’ was frustrated with how the fight went.

“I have no idea what happened,” said Blaydes during his post-fight press conference (video provided by MMA Junkie). He landed the kick, I went to counter, he dropped. That’s all I know.”

Blaydes knew a win over Aspinall would get him one step closer to a championship opportunity, which would be his first since joining the promotion over six years ago.
