Does blaydes’ win over aspinall ‘count’?

[RonDante]

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

 

[Thesnake101]

It's like Vitor's win over Randy Couture — it goes down as a win but it doesn't really tell us much about who the better fighter is.

 

[kingofthecans]

If he came in with a preexisting condition I would. Going into a fight injured is your own fault and a loss for stupidity.

 

[Oscar Madison]

Blaydes 1-0

 

[Gang Sign Luke]

Idk, 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.

 

[nostradumbass]

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.

 

[flektarn]

It counts and I want the rematch.

 

[World eater]

You can pretend it doesn’t because it meant nothing really, but it does as do the other two losses Aspinall has on his record. Might not be fair, but just imagine if it were a real fight, would Blaydes stop?

 

[Fluffernutter]

Yes

Say what? It absolutely did. Blaydes got a #1 contender fight after. Tom fought Tybura.

 

[Danespina]

It's a storyline. He should cash in on it.

Regardless of that fight, Blaydes is one of the UFC's best heavyweights and deserves to fight for the title.

It was 15 seconds so take a look

[Poirierfan]

Shouldn't count, it's equivalent to the guy that blew out his knee while his name was being announced (was jumping to get warm up).

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.

 

[Portland8242]

Not even Blaydes himself considers it a real win (and he's had this same energy the entire time).

That attitude is part of the reason why him vs Aspinall rematch makes all the sense in the world for Manchester.

 

[Fergelmince]

Now that he knows how to do it, Blaydes probably fucks Aspinall's knee up again

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Absolutely.

Fear of Blaydes caused it.

 

[Iroh]

Nah, not in my book.
