The story of American fighter Stephen Asplund, who debuted in the UFC, has aroused great interest in the MMA community.
Idman.Biz reports that Asplund faced serious weight problems in his youth. According to him, he had an excessive appetite as a child, and his mother's meals made the situation even worse.
Stephen ate 2-3, sometimes 4 servings of food at meal times, and on weekends he bought boxes of cookies and soft drinks and played video games for hours.
By the age of 20, Asplad 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 no purpose in life and no real achievements.
After that, he started working seriously in the gym. The support of his friend from school years and his renewed interest in MMA helped Asplund a lot. Over time, he started a professional career and at the age of 27 he rose to the UFC debut level.
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 magnificent debut. Interestingly, fans who mocked his physique before the fight changed their position after learning about Stephen's life story after the match.
This victory proved that Asplad fought a great fight not only in the ring, but also in life, and earned him great respect among MMA fans.
