Tom Aspinall is taking a devastating UFC Fight Night 208 main event result in stride.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s heavyweight headliner at The O2 in London was brought to an abrupt end just 15 seconds in when Aspinall (12-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC) a knee injury that sent him to the canvas in agony. His opponent Curtis Blaydes (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) was awarded the win by TKO, and it looked like a grim scene for the British fighter.<\/p>\n

Aspinall has not revealed the extent of his injuries, but deemed it a \u201cfreak accident.\u201d He appears to be in good spirits, and even shared a beer with Blaydes in the fighter hotel in the aftermath of the event (via Instagram):<\/p>\n
