Vitor Petrino - Steven Asplund: betting tip (kef 1.42) and bets on the fight

Current form

Vitor Petrino seemed to be reborn after moving to heavyweight. Two bright wins in a row is not an accident. In the last fight, he shocked everyone by knocking out Thomas Peterson with a combination that in itself deserves a separate video review. Before that, he was able to get the better of Austin Lane with a painful technique, demonstrating that his arsenal is not limited to punches.

It is worth remembering that the transition to heavyweight followed two defeats — from Dustin Jacobi and Anthony Smith. These are the only black streaks in the 28-year-old Brazilian's career. Petrino can break down opponents' defenses and fight both in the stand and in the stalls. This is where Asplund can sense the problems: the Brazilian is athletic, fast and knows how to get the upper hand in the fight on the ground. Petrino has an impressive 16 wins: 11 by knockout, three by decision, two by submission, and only two defeats.

Steven Asplund, in turn, made his way from LFA to Contender Series, and then to UFC Fight Night in 2025, leaving no doubt about his skill — victories on all these platforms speak for themselves. In the last fight, he literally rocked Sean Sharaf with a series of precise combinations, ending the fight with a technical victory in the second round. And, of course, there was an emotional motivational speech after the fight — a classic of the genre. Asplund is a big guy, but his height and arm span almost do not give him an advantage over Petrino. This once again shows how powerful the Brazilian was in the light heavyweight division. The American is accurate, fast and confident in his stance, but against Petrino it will be a serious step forward. Asplund's only professional defeat came from Denzel Freeman in LFA: a body-grabbing suicide throw, overhead position control, and a choke hold—all according to the textbook.

The 27-year-old American has eight wins: five by knockout, two by decision, one by submission and one defeat. Each of his victories shows his skill in standing, but Petrino is a different level of challenge. Asplund's only professional defeat was against Denzel Freeman in the LFA. Freeman knocked him to the ground with a suicide throw, a one-leg grab, and a body grab. After that, he easily took a position on top and captured the back before eventually winning with a backhand choke. The 27-year-old American has 8 wins to his credit — five by knockout, 2 by decision, 1 by submission and 1 defeat.
