I officially hat all of the odds on this card. All of them. How the hell is VItor Petrino the -220 favorite? Did the line setter just look at them and make the decision based off fuck-ability? If so, I get it. Steven looks like a half melted Easter Peep. But while he's second to only Shamil Gaziev in the looks department, this dude is as tough as they come. He takes his beating and moves forward. He's also tremendous and not a pussy. Vitor on the other hand will make a mirror catch its breath, but he's not who we thought he was. The skills aren't great and the IQ is worse. Vitor can obviously win this fight, but to do so he needs to play the same game he did against Dustin Jacoby, but not get flat lined in the 3rd. Dance around and stay away. I don't think Steven let's him do that and heavyweight fights are unpredictable, so I'm going with the dog.

Vitor Petrino

Vitor Petrino is a powerful guy with a solid left hook. He is a dangerous striker who has grappling as well. He has 17 takedowns in the UFC. His takedown defense is just ok, but he does a nice job working his way up and avoiding danger. He is very green still but is evolving as a fighter and learning more every time he steps in the cage. He is coming off the KO win over Thomas Peterson.

Steven Asplund

Steven Asplund is a massive guy who went from 500lbs to 261. Obviously there are a few different ways to lose that weight, you could get lap band surgery, you could get the shot or you can do it the old fashioned way. Asplund did it in a way where he has fantastic output and cardio for a guy who has a California King set of extra skin. Style wise, he has a decent jab and good striking volume. He is pretty durable but can be taken down. He is winning fights of will power and cardio. Including his last fight where he landed 170 significant strikes in a round and a half.
