Earns stoppage win in debut
HeavyweightUFC
December 13, 2025
Asplund defeated Sean Sharaf via TKO (punches) at 3:49 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Asplund earned his UFC opportunity with a 16-second knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series in September. He made his official company debut here against Sharaf. To Asplund's credit, he kept a remarkably high pace for the entirety of the fight. He fired off a ridiculous 292 significant strikes, landing 170 of them. Now, a large part of that was due to the fact Sharaf simply wasn't able to put up much resistance, resulting in a ton of one-way traffic, but it was nice to see Asplund show an ability to win a fight that didn't end in an instant. The Minnesota native seems like a solid depth addition to the heavyweight division. He'll also walk away $50,000 richer, as this fight was later selected for Fight of the Night honors.

UFC debut scheduled

September 26, 2025
Asplund will take on Sean Sharaf in a heavyweight bout at UFC Vegas 112 on Dec. 13, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Asplund was awarded a UFC contract after besting Anthony Guarascio in Dana White's Contender Series. That was his third straight professional win, the other two coming in the LFA, where he boasts a 4-1 record. His inaugural UFC opponent Sharaf is coming off a loss in his first time in the Octagon, so both fighters will be seeking their first victory in the promotion.

Asplund defeated Anthony Guarascio via TKO (punches and elbows) at 0:16 of Round 1 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of five fighters to earn an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Asplund entered the evening's main event as a slight betting underdog in the ballpark of (+140), but "Concrete" quickly corrected that narrative with a stiff left hand that sent his opponent to the canvas. A few follow-up shots were all that was needed for Asplund to record the third-fastest finish in DWCS history. Standing at 6-foot-5 with a 78-inch reach, the 27-year-old Asplund will enter the heavyweight division with just seven pro fights under his belt.
