\u201cConcrete\u201d gets his first Octagon assignment.<\/p>\n
MMAmania.com<\/a> confirmed with multiple sources today (Mon., Sept. 15, 2025) that newly-signed Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight Steven Asplund will make his promotional debut against Sean Sharaf at UFC Vegas 112<\/a> on Dec. 13, 2025, inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n This Heavyweight scrap should be madness for as long as it lasts.<\/p>\n Asplund (6-1) earned his contract just last week on Contender Series (week five), flattening Anthony Guarascio in just 16 seconds as a betting underdog (watch highlights<\/a>). The 27-year-old rides into his debut on a three-fight win streak, holding an 83 percent finish rate with five knockout wins.<\/p>\n For what it\u2019s worth, the new UFC Heavyweight is the son of Kevin Asplund, who fought the likes of Brett Rodgers, Bobby Lashley, and Oli Thompson.<\/p>\n Sharaf (4-1), meanwhile, hasn\u2019t been seen since Oct. 2024, when he stepped up on just three days\u2019 notice to face Junior Tafa. Despite having a lot of success against the Aussie slugger<\/a>, Sharaf ultimately fell by second-round stoppage<\/a>. Still, the 32-year-old has proven to be a dangerous threat early, with all four of his career wins ending via first-round knockout.<\/p>\n UFC Vegas 112 will be headlined by Brandon Royval vs. Manel Kape in a pivotal Flyweight main event. The only other bout confirmed for the year-end card thus far is a Strawweight clash between Iasmin Lucindo and Gillian Robertson.<\/p>\n Expect more matchups to be added in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
