Aspinall retains UFC interim heavyweight championship with first-round knockout
Aspinall dominates Blaydes in emphatic fashion
British fighter makes quick work of challenger
Tom Aspinall retained his UFC interim heavyweight championship in emphatic fashion on Saturday night, knocking out Curtis Blaydes in the first round of their main event clash in Manchester, England.
Aspinall, who entered the fight with a record of 15-3, wasted no time in taking control of the bout. He landed a series of heavy punches that sent Blaydes reeling, before finishing the fight with a devastating left hook.
The victory was a major statement of intent from Aspinall, who is now one of the most feared fighters in the heavyweight division. He is now expected to face Francis Ngannou for the undisputed UFC heavyweight championship later this year.
