UFC London

For two years, Tom Aspinall has been making light work of the UFC's heavyweight division. On Saturday, Aspinall will be looking for the biggest win of his ...

No one but Lewis has been able to actually shut Blaydes' lights out so a clean knockout seems unlikely for Aspinall. But the more Blaydes is forced into looking to wrestling first, the more he may be able to tilt the fight in his direction. Blaydes understands how to go the distance, even in a five-round fight such as this. Blaydes has five decision wins in his career while Aspinall has never even seen the third round of a fight. Pimblett, the Liverpool native, has scored a pair of first-round finishes in his first two appearances in the UFC Octagon -- one by knockout and one by submission. While Aspinall has solid wrestling, Blaydes is a bit better than him in that department. "I definitely think people underestimate my athleticism, even to this day," Blaydes said in an interview with Yahoo Sports. "I don't think a lot of people appreciate how athletic you have to be to get takedowns.

Drake has dropped a mega bet on Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann for UFC London this evening.

Paddy takes on Jordan Leavitt as his quest to climb the lightweight rankings continues. Brits will hope that Israel managed to break the infamous “Drake Curse” for good, as the Canadian has slapped a huge £1.9 million on both Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann to win at UFC London. Drake has placed a gigantic £1.9 million bet on Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann ahead of their bouts on tonight’s highly anticipated UFC London card.

“One-hundred percent,” McCann said. “That spinning elbow means f*** all on Saturday, doesn't it? That's not going to win me the fight, living off the last fight ...

Through all of this journey and through everything and through the last fight I’ve just realized I just want to be world champion. And if I’m honest with my goals and my dreams and my ambitions of being a world champion, then I can’t run away. “I’ve tried to be more of a role model and less of just a bevvy head. I’ve gone from the ‘I just want a bevvy game’ to the elbow game, and I wonder what we’ll get on Saturday night, what happens next.” I’ve went away and I’ve worked so hard on my grappling, even though it was the striking that won me the fight. What it has done is given me the belief, it’s given me the mental fortitude more to come into this one and know really what I’m capable of.

The energy given off by the loudmouth Liverpudlian and returned in kind by the adoring masses in the building suggested that – even as an unranked fighter – Pimblett could have main-evented the card. Records were broken as UFC London became the highest-grossing sporting event in the history of the O2 Arena, as well as the highest-grossing Fight Night that the UFC has ever staged. Aspinall is not alone in making a swift return to the O2; McCann will feature again, as will Paddy Pimblett, Paul Craig, Muhammad Mokaev and Jai Herbert. Till’s withdrawal may be seen as a sacrifice to the MMA gods so that the rest of the card may stay intact – unlike in 2019. Yet absence has a significant effect on the heart, its atriums and ventricles, and when the UFC ultimately returned to London this March, 17,081 fans and 24 mixed martial artists embraced the evening in equally full-blooded fashion. Britain’s own Leon Edwards was set to headline the card at the O2 Arena, taking on former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. The fight fell through, along with the rest of the event, and British fans’ one-year wait for a UFC event eventually grew into a three-year longing.

Paul Craig via UD (30-27x3) Mason Jones via UD (30-27x3) Charles Johnson via UD (30-27x3) Klein was handed back control of the contest in the third though when Jones went for an audacious flying triangle only to end up on his back for the majority of the round. Charles Rosa via UD (30-26x2, 30-27) Damir Hadzovic via UD (30-26x2, 30-27) Nelson's lower leg assault continued in the second as the 'Black Country Banger' tried to respond with some kicks of his own but it was during a clinch against the cage that Herbert landed his first significant strike of the fight, catching Nelson clean with a concussive knee in the dying moments of the second stanza.

Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett will return to action on Saturday night when he takes on American Jordan Leavitt at lightweight in London.

During the official weigh-ins for Saturday's card at the O2 Arena in London, Pimblett sent a clear message to critics about his infamous eating habits. He is well-known for engaging in heated exchanges with trolls and previously gave out the address of his gym when challenged to a scrap. But I felt strong, I went for the grab. He went for my leg but I was able to defend it. The 27-year-old is no stranger to controversy - and there was drama just hours before the clash with Leavitt even began as he was banned from Twitter. Back in November 2021, Pimblett was suspended from the site indefinitely for “targeted abuse” – and now it has happened again. Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett will return to action on Saturday night when he takes on American Jordan Leavitt at lightweight in London. The Liverpudlian has emerged as arguably the UK's biggest UFC star courtesy of his wins against Luigi Vendramini last year and Rodrigo Vargas in March.

Paddy Pimblett continues to surge in the octagon with his third win in a fight against Jordan Leavitt at UFC London.

With a squeeze, he picked up his third straight UFC win and set the crowd ablaze with the tea-bag he’d promised for Leavitt, who’d beforehand promised to twerk in victory. The Brit tried an arm triangle as he tried to stay upright, but it wasn’t until he fired his knee that the fight turned in an instant. When Leavitt charged across the ring with short time, Pimblett slapped on a guillotine and used it to take the back and mount, pounding away with punches for a round-stealing argument.

- UFC 276 Event T-Shirt The action stalled a bit from that position, as Leavitt couldn’t drag Pimblett down for long, but “The Baddy” couldn’t escape off the fence. Pimblett stood up quickly, but Leavitt remained in control in the clinch.

Jack Hermansson and Chris Curtis clashed after Hermansson won a decision in UFC London's co-main event.

Hermansson, meanwhile, bounced back after a split call loss to Sean Strickland in the headliner of UFC Vegas 47. An opportunity to cut the line on Hermansson, the No. 12 ranked middleweight in MMA Fighting’s Global Rankings, turned into an overseas bust for Curtis, who won his first three UFC fights. Hermansson, who solidly won a three-round striking battle, came right back with a “f*** you,” prompting officials to high-tail it into the octagon as bouncers.

Check out which fighters won performance bonuses from UFC London: Blaydes vs. Aspinall.

Charles Rosa by unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-27) Blaydes was declared the winner by TKO. The main portion of the card had Volkan Oezdemir thwart Paul Craig and his grappling attempts for a unanimous decision win. During an exchange, Aspinall threw a kick and collapsed when he planted his foot on the canvas. The heavyweight headliner ended in unfortunate fashion, and the middleweight co-headliner saw ‘The Action Man’ get outstruck by ‘The Joker.’ Nathaniel Wood fought for the first time in over a year and a half and turned in quite a performance.

“I know for a fact now I'll be fighting on pay-per-views with Jon Anik, Joe Rogan and [Daniel Cormier] commentating,” said Pimblett after he again brought the ...

Both of them paid tribute to their fallen friend and ended the presser thanking the media. ... People in the position where I’m in, people who have got a bit of a following, they should help people ... whether it’s Joe on the street or your mate. He made headlines by mooning reporters at the official weigh-ins for the event, telling off fans who fat-shamed him over his eating habits. He said he won’t do a stadium in the U.K., but the Baddy’s come along, so he will.” Pimblett subsequently signed a new UFC deal. “It’s too small.”

Blaydes was the No. 4 ranked fighter in the official UFC heavyweight rankings entering UFC London. Aspinall was ranked at No. 6. The big winners on the card ...

Herbert did showed improved takedown defense throughout this fight, but he failed to use his height and reach advantage throughout the contest. Prelim card winners: The UFC tried to fit eight prelim fights into a three-hour broadcast window. He also had success in the first half of the second stanza, but once Dalby reversed position on the mat, it became clear that Silva was running on fumes. Silva found some fuel in his reserve tank in the third stanza, but it was not enough to earn him his first win since 2019. Alexander Gustafsson: Prior to UFC London, Alexander Gustafsson confidently proclaimed that the UFC light heavyweight weight class was his division. The bad thing was that Curtis had nothing in his tool box to put his opponent at risk. Paul Craig: Paul Craig smartly tried to avoid the striking game of Volkan Oezdemir for the first four plus minutes of the fight. The question with McCann now becomes does the UFC look to give her a tough fight up the rankings or does it look to capitalize on her popularity with the English fans? He used a low kick heavy attack to slow down and defeat a game Charles Rosa. Wood used a patient approach to earn the win. This was a huge win for the 30-year-old, who called out Volkan Oezdemir during his in-cage conversation with UFC commentator Michael Bisping. Hermansson fought a smart 15 minutes, took little damage and set himself up for a fight opposite a top-10 opponent in the next few months. This week saw the fight between Curtis Blaydes and Tom Aspinall come to a close 15 seconds into the heavyweight bout due to a knee injury suffered by Aspinall.

Tom Aspinall released several statements in the wake of his fight-ending injury at UFC London.

Instead, he accepted that “last night wasn’t my night” after the “freak injury” and added his training for the bout was “brilliant.” He was put in a leg brace and taken out of the octagon. “A beer makes everything feel better,” Aspinall wrote.

As mentioned, Browne was undefeated in 14 fights leading up to the “Bigfoot” fight. Though “Hapa” returned from injury with a win streak, it’s fair to stay that Browne was never the same. In 2012, Browne was 30 years of age, undefeated at 13-0-1, and had knocked out a majority of his opposition. Perhaps Aspinall struggles from his back or doesn’t yet have the cardio for a five-round fight. Aspinall’s athleticism is a huge part of why he was able to skyrocket up the ranks and become a contender so quickly. The fans lost out on a great main event, one which could perhaps have saved the fairly pedestrian live show.

I retired you, I knocked you out and the world saw that. I want the people to know what a piece of sh*t you are. You know that I had surgery nine weeks ago and you did this. Guys, I would just let you know that after the event at UFC London, the security was escorting me to the transfer back to the hotel, and ‘Mr. Still Sleep’ was sitting in my row at the end of the row, so I needed to pass by. And I pass by and he talked to me something – I didn’t really pay attention. So I started to turn away and he sucker-punched me.
