The Read
Style, strengths, and defining traits.
Asplund is a heavyweight kickboxer who does almost all of his damage with his hands — six of his eight professional wins have come by knockout, three of them in the first round, and he describes his own approach as "Fat Max Holloway."
A second-generation concrete worker whose father Kevin also fought professionally (17-12, Legacy FC and Bellator), Asplund earned his UFC contract with a 16-second knockout of Anthony Guarascio on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2025. He answered a March decision loss to Vitor Petrino with a unanimous decision over Guilherme Pat on Aug. 8, 2026.
