UFC debut scheduled
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.

Lays the concrete in main event
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.
