Steven Asplund earned his UFC contract by stepping in for Guilherme Pat on the Contender Series, then knocking the replacement opponent out in sixteen seconds. The two heavyweights finally meet on the preliminary card at UFC Fight Night on Saturday. How the American finishes fights is where our Steven Asplund vs Guilherme Pat match prediction begins.
Concrete is 7-2, and six of those wins came by knockout or stoppage. He announced himself in the Octagon last December by battering Sean Sharaf for two rounds, landing 170 significant strikes from 292 thrown. No heavyweight is supposed to produce that volume inside two rounds. The engine came from shedding close to 300 pounds off a frame that once carried more than 525.
Kong is 6-1 and arrives from a majority decision defeat to Thomas Petersen in April. The Brazilian lost years of his prime to a United States visa that would not come through. At six foot six he holds an inch of height and three of reach over Concrete, and he is four years older.
Asplund's record carries one blemish that matters here. The only stoppage defeat of his professional career came by submission, in the LFA. Everything else has been settled with fists or with scorecards, and his two UFC outings produced one of each.

Our Steven Asplund vs Guilherme Pat Prediction
Every fight Asplund has won or lost in the UFC has ended in one of the two ways this market covers. Sean Sharaf went by second-round TKO, Vitor Petrino by unanimous decision. Six of Concrete's seven career wins are knockouts, and the volume he throws makes a quiet fifteen minutes unlikely.
Kong gives up nothing in size and was beaten on the cards last time out. The bookmakers have still made this fairly clear. Hence, our Steven Asplund vs Guilherme Pat match prediction is that Steven Asplund wins by KO, TKO, or Decision.
