The story of American fighter Stephen Asplund, who debuted in the UFC, has aroused great interest in the MMA community.
İdman.Biz reports that Asplund faced a serious weight problem in his youth. According to him, he had an excessive appetite as a child, and his mother's cooking made the situation even worse.
Stephen ate 2-3, sometimes 4 portions of food at mealtimes, and on weekends he would buy boxes of cookies and fizzy drinks and play video games for hours.
By the age of 20, Asplund weighed more than 220 kilograms. The turning point in his life began with a breakup with his girlfriend after a long-term relationship. At that moment, Stephen realized that he had neither a goal in life nor any real achievements.
After that, he started working out seriously in the gym. The support of a friend from school days and the renewed interest in MMA were of great help to Asplund. Over time, he started a professional career and at the age of 27 rose to the level of UFC debut.
In the fight held yesterday, Asplund entered the ring against Sean Shara and defeated his opponent by knockout. The bloody and dramatic encounter was remembered as the fighter's spectacular debut. Interestingly, fans who mocked his physique before the fight changed their positions after learning about Stephen's life story.
This victory proved that Asplund fought a great fight not only in the ring, but also in life, and earned him great respect among MMA fans.
