Going into UFC London, fight fans were expecting fireworks bein the heavyweight main event between Curtis Blaydes and Tom Aspinall.

With both hulking figures looking to cement themselves in the title scene, the hype was palpable as they made their way to the octagon.

But in the end, fans were robbed of what they were hoping for after Aspinall collapsed to the canvas with a knee injury less than 30 seconds into the fight.

Below is how their fellow fighters reacted to the entire night of action inside the 02 Arena.

Great show at #UFCLondon tonight, the prelims were a bit slow but then electrified as we got onto the main card especially from the scousers.Gutted for my main man Tom but this shit happens especially when ur fighting the highest of level fighters… trust me I know… x

Unfortunate ending to #UFCLondon , hope Aspinal recovers well.Put some DAMN respect on CURTIS name.

Two main events in a row like this?! WTF?? #UFCLondon

Is there a main event curse going on right now? #UFCLondon

Again…2nd weekend in a row. Feeling bad for both fighters #UFCLondon

That's unfortunate best wishes for Tom smh!!!#UFCLondon

Fuuuuck that sucks. #UFCLondon

Oh wtf #UFCLondon

Anti climax . Hope he's good man

What a fucking waste of everyone's time. Sorry London I tried. Should have preped for a track meet instead.

Jack fighting super smart tonight. Curtis needs to cut the cage off a little more so that he can add some volume. He needs a finish! Go for it! #UFCLondon

How da fck a jiu jitsu guy become a kickboxer off one fight !?

Chris needs to cut him off. Jack is doing a good job of fighting long, using his kicks and moving a lot laterally after the exchanges. #UFCLondon

Pay Paddy his Millions now

That arm trap from the back take was nasty! Creative threat from a defensive position on the cage, and big knee to the head. Jordan fought tough and made it interesting. Fun fight and well earned win. Nothing for Jordan to hang his head about. #UFCLondon

That finish gave me MW2 vibes #UFCLondon

Paddy does it again #UFCLondon

I’m ok. Disappointed. Congratulations to Nikita and thank u all for support ❤️

Gustafson is done. He needs to walk away, these shots are hard but he used to eat those. The chin is gone, walk away my friend. We all have expiration date. One of the best to not have had a title.

That was not I expected! Gutted for AG! Great win for Krylov #UFCLondon

Wow @NikitaKrylovUFC #UFCLondon

Daaaaaammn ok!!! Quick work on a legend #UFCLondon

Molly looking extremely focused here in the octagon entrance. #UFCLondon

Wow! Molly always puts on a show #UFCLondon

Yeah Bear Jew is my guy but my arrogance cost me and I see that now!!!#liveandlearn

What is Paul Craig doing ? He needs to take some chances on his feet. He is losing this fight by continuing to pull guard. Volkan up 2-0 and he is still doing it

Werdum/Overeem vibes this fight #UFCLondon

Craig on his back more than Teen Mom #UFCLondon
