Say what? It absolutely did. Blaydes got a #1 contender fight after. Tom fought Tybura.Nah. I mean it "counts" as in it's a win on Blaydes record and a loss on Tom's and not one that could be overturned, but it didn't really change their ranking or matchmaking trajectory and nobody would argue it as a plus for Blaydes or a minus for Aspinall.
On a side note, I actually thought it was a KO at the time because it looked like Blaydes landed smashed him right on the chin, and didn't see until the replay that the punches didn't actually land. I still don't know that Blaydes didn't have anything at all to do with it, or if those punches made Tom pull back too fast or throw the kick awkwardly, but it doesn't really matter.
It was 15 seconds so take a lookIdk, the exchange they had before it ended it looked like Curtis was landing. It's honestly hard to say, I'd have to watch it again.
I don't count it against Aspinall. I think Tom should be able to beat him in the rematch and hope that solidifies him as the Undisputed HW champ.Title basically
15 seconds into the fight, aspinall throws a leg kick and blows out his acl. 1% of the total fight time (15sec/25min), and blaydes didn’t cause the injury in any way
Does it count?
I don’t count it
Like how Chito did to O'Malley again right?Now that he knows how to do it, Blaydes probably fucks Aspinall's knee up again
