British fight fans were left heartbroken by the main event of UFC Fight Night London last month. Aspinall stepped into the octagon against Curtis Blaydes in what was the biggest fight of his career. The bout looked set to be a barnburner, but after just 15 seconds, 'Two Pints' collapsed to the ground, holding his knee and screaming in agony. The bout was waved off by doctors and Blaydes was handed a TKO victory.

Fans have sent messages of support and encouragement to the British prospect, with many hoping he'll return to the octagon better than ever: "Everyone wants you to get better and back in the octagon, healthy and ready to fight."

Another fan shared their own experience with ACL injuries, stating that Aspinall's doesn't sound too serious: "The only thing I question with what Tom said was about damaging the ACL. Having had both ACL’s snap, that’s basically what happens, they snap, they don’t really tear, they get to the point of no return and snap. I’m thinking MCL and meniscus(cartlidge). He’ll be back soon." Ncc415@Porkyboxster@AspinallMMA The only thing I question with what Tom said was about damaging the ACL.

The Manchester-born fighter has fought six times in the UFC at heavyweight and finds himself at No.6 in the rankings. Prior to his the bout with Curtis Blaydes, which is the only loss of Aspinall's UFC career, the 29-year-old finished all five of his opponents in the first or second round. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Speaking exclusively to Sportskeeda MMA before his injury against 'Razor', 'Two Pints' admitted he feels his rise in the heavyweight division is in part due to a lack of major talent in that weight class: "It still is a little bit surreal, you know? Two years ago I was absolutely dead broke. I had no money and I was just like a kid with a dream really and now it's all happening in the space of two years so yeah, some days it's still a little bit surreal and I still can't believe it a little." The Englishman added: "A lot of that is to do with my division as well. I mean the division is not very deep, the heavyweight division, like a few good wins and you're never too far away from like top five, top ten position."
