There was no inconclusive result this time around at UFC 304 because Tom Aspinall avenged his loss to Curtis Blaydes in definitive fashion.
After Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) blew out his knee in a 15-second injury TKO loss to Blaydes (18-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) in July 2022, the pair ran it back for the interim belt on Saturday at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.
This time it was Aspinall who came out with his hand raised by knockout in just 60 seconds, achieving a rare interim title defense under the UFC banner. Now he looks forward to challenging the winner of Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic for the undisputed belt, but whether that will happen remains to be seen.
Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Aspinall beating Blaydes at UFC 304.
