‘Make up for what happened last year’
“That just shows what kind of mental state I was in because that’s not my style. My knee completely locked up, I knew straight away I was going to need surgery,” Aspinall continued. “Lying on my back in the O2 Arena, being embarrassed like that in front of so many people, it’s devastating. Torn MCL, stretched ACL, torn meniscus. It’s really hard to believe in yourself in times like that because I think if I would’ve beat Blaydes that would’ve gotten me a title shot.”
