Steven Asplund VS Guilherme Pat

Steven Asplund defeated Guilherme Pat by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) in a heavyweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs. Salkilld on August 8, 2026 in Las Vegas. Asplund controlled the opening round, dropping Pat late and working from top position with short punches and knees against the fence. Pat mounted a significant comeback in the second, catching Asplund with a left hook that buckled him and briefly tilting the fight in the Brazilian's favor. Asplund responded by landing a high kick and seized control of the final round, wearing Pat down over the full five minutes to sweep all three judges. The win moved Asplund to 8-2 overall and marked a bounce-back performance after his first UFC loss earlier in 2026.

Steven "Concrete" Asplund and Guilherme Pat are two heavyweights who both impressed in their UFC debuts — Asplund with a vicious TKO highlighting 170 significant strikes and a $50k bonus, Pat with a clean decision over a previously unbeaten opponent — before each absorbed their first losses, making this a reset battle between two dangerous big men with plenty to prove. Pat publicly called for this matchup after their respective debuts, and the UFC obliged.
