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.
