Steven Asplund enters Saturday's card at the UFC APEX with a 1-1 UFC record.
The heavyweight debuted Dec. 13, 2025, and stopped Sean Sharaf by TKO in the second round.
He returned March 14, 2026, against Vitor Petrino and lost a unanimous decision over three rounds.
Both of Asplund's UFC bouts have been heavyweight fights. He has one finish in the promotion, and his only loss there went to the scorecards.
The Petrino fight was his first UFC bout to reach the judges, and his first to go past the second round.
