UFC heavyweight Tom Aspinall underwent knee surgery on Wednesday to repair his torn MCL and some damage to his meniscus and right ACL.
Aspinall suffered a fifteen-second TKO loss to Curtis Blaydes at UFC London last month where the former blew out his knee after throwing a leg kick in the opening round. Aspinall had to be stretchered out of the Octagon and immediately taken to the hospital.
Despite suffering such a huge setback and a potentially career-threatening injury, Aspinall is in good spirits and optimistic about the future. The British standout provided a positive update on his recovery just hours before he underwent surgery yesterday.
