Blades: "No excuses, Tom was on top of his game."

UFC American heavyweight Curtis Blades commented on his loss to interim division champion Tom Aspinall.

"I'm sorry, guys. I got greedy when I was able to get him in the first few seconds. So I threw out the excellent fight plan my trainers came up with.

No excuses, Tom was on top of it. It's not over for me either. But I know I'm better in skills than I showed tonight. Thank you all for your support. I'm really amazed at how many people are worried about me," wrote Blades on social network X.

Recall, on July 28 at UFC 304 in Manchester, UK, Aspinall knocked out Blades in one minute.
