Heavyweights have an innate instinct to carry out their job in the cage as quickly as possible in a destructive manner without giving the clock a chance to tick down by the minute. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet the newest big swinger ready to deliver the goods for Legacy Fighting Alliance in their ranks at heavyweight at LFA 174 on January 12 as their latest Viking giant for Minnesota events on the calendar in 2024 and beyond.

The lone finish during Asplund’s career in the professional ranks has come inside the opening round with a time of 11 seconds. He has fought for Ignite Fights and has a 100 percent finish rate with a single first-round finish under his belt in his lone appearance with the promotion to show for it. Asplund has never gone to the scorecards at any juncture over the course of his career as a professional MMA fighter. He has finished his only victory as a professional mixed martial artist. Asplund has one first-round finish in his single professional appearance thus far. He has spent his entire professional career in his home state of Minnesota.
