Gable Steveson Provides Update on UFC Signing

Gable Steveson, the former Olympic gold medalist and collegiate wrestling standout, has been making waves in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA) with three impressive wins in his first three professional bouts. His most recent victory in Mexico showcased his skills with a first-round knockout, solidifying his reputation as a rising star in the heavyweight division.

While fans eagerly await Steveson’s official UFC debut, there’s good news on the horizon. Despite recently signing with Real American Freestyle (RAF) to hone his wrestling skills, Steveson has hinted that his Octagon debut could be just around the corner, possibly in 2026. Speculation arose that he might make his debut at the upcoming White House card, but Steveson remains optimistic that an announcement could come at any moment.

At only 25 years old, Steveson is already carving out a successful career in MMA under the mentorship of former UFC champion Jon Jones. Jones believes that Steveson has the talent to compete for UFC gold by early 2027, but making his official Octagon debut is the first step. Steveson is fully focused on capturing a UFC title and is determined to showcase his wrestling prowess along the way.

“I’m doing RAF to demonstrate my wrestling skills,” Steveson shared. “I want to show everyone that I’m not just good at wrestling, but that I have what it takes to become one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Ultimately, winning a UFC title is my top priority.”

With Steveson’s unwavering dedication and impressive track record, it’s clear that he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of MMA. Keep an eye out for his upcoming UFC debut, as it could happen any day now.
