Steven
Asplund doesn’t want to experience defeat inside the Octagon
again.
The
Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight is set to take on
Guilherme
Pat at
UFC Vegas 120 on Aug. 8 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas. Asplund is
coming off a loss to Vitor
Petrino in his sophomore UFC outing this past March and has
left no stone unturned in preparation this time around. Steven Asplund explains how his Vitor Petrino loss changed his
UFC training approach
Asplund admits that losses feel like the end of the world to him.
“Concrete” vowed to himself after his last defeat that he would
never have to question himself again about giving maximum effort in
preparation. The 28-year-old recently revealed that he has invested
in a home gym so he can be in better shape for his upcoming
bout.
“This time I have invested in myself,” Asplund said in a recent
interview. “I bought a home gym, I put a ton of dumbbells in my
garage, an Airdyne bike and squat rack… I never want to feel that
way again. These losses feel like death to me. I don’t show my face
after a loss… This sh*t is like death. I don’t just want to win. I
want to be champion someday. I dwelled on it, I thought about it a
lot and I came to an understanding and I made an agreement with
myself that I’m never going to ask myself if I could have done more
before I fight again. This fight I know I could not… I have done
everything I can.”
Both Asplund and Pat are 1-1 in the UFC coming off losses. The
former is eager to make quick work of his Brazilian counterpart and
return to the win column.
“I’m going for a first-round KO. Heavy pace, lots of strength,
heavy elbows, swarm him.” “This time, I've invested in
myself.” Steven
Asplund ( @StevenA75 ) put
all the work in that he could to feel completely prepared for his
next test.
