Tom Aspinall undergoing surgery for injured knee suffered at UFC London

Tom Aspinall is headed for surgery.

The UFC heavyweight injured his knee in his fight with Curtis Blaydes at UFC London this past Saturday. Aspinall threw a kick and collapsed to the canvas, prompting referee Herb Dean to step in and wave off the action after 15 seconds. The extent of the injury was unknown, but UFC color commentator Michael Bisping said during the broadcast the cageside doctors suspected a torn MCL.

Aspinall has since provided an update on his injured knee. The 29-year-old still needs an MRI scan to assess the damage but expects to undergo surgery next week.
