The story of American fighter Stephen Aspland, who made his UFC debut, has generated great interest in the MMA community.
Idman.Biz reports that Aspland 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 meal times, and on weekends he would buy boxes of cookies and soft drinks and play 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, nor any real achievements.
After that, he began to work seriously in the gym. The support of a friend from school and a renewed interest in MMA greatly helped Aspland. Over time, he started a professional career and at the age of 27, he rose to the level of a UFC debut.

Interestingly, fans who mocked his physique before the fight changed their position after learning about Stephen's life story.
This victory proved that Aspland fought a great battle not only in the ring, but also in life, and earned him great respect among MMA fans.
