UFC congratulates Gable Steveson

It all started off with the WWE congratulating Gable Steveson on his Olympic gold. They openly showed him their love and support on Twitter, which is what started off the rumors.

Steveson then went on Twitter and tweeted at Dana White, possibly hinting at a move to the UFC. Twitter went into a frenzy, especially UFC fans, who have seen former Olympians and Olympic medalists become champions.

Gable Steveson is just 21-years-old, he has a very promising career ahead of him. MMA is something that will help him monetize his skill and himself. The UFC has been reaching new highs consistently in the last few years.

There have been a lot of charismatic champions and dominant fighters that have pushed PPV buys. Steveson has the potential to be the next big name in the sport. His freak athletic ability, explosiveness, and strength are very unnatural for someone his weight.

At 6ft 1 inches and 285 pounds, he should not be able to execute backflips after going against the world’s best wrestlers for eight minutes. He has had eyes on him by many UFC veterans going into the Tokyo Olympics 2020.

Former two-division champion Daniel Cormier himself is a big fan of the Minnesota man. In an interview before his wrestling events, Daniel Cormier predicted that Gable Steveson would win gold.
