Young wrestler, Gable Steveson, secured gold in freestyle wrestling at Tokyo Olympics 2020. Since then, there’s been questions about his future. Steveson has two paths in front of him – WWE or UFC. He could essentially do what Brock Lesnar did. Now, Daniel Cormier, retired MMA professional, explained why Gable Steveson should work with WWE first and then move to UFC. He believes he will rise to the top at WWE, just like Lesnar did, that too at a young age. Once he has acquired this fame, he should move to UFC and start competing for PPVs directly. Considering he will be an established name by the time he goes to UFC, he can get paid a lot more. GABLE STEVESON HAS REACHED OUT TO VINCE MCMAHON Recently, Steveson took to social media to wave at Vince McMahon [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-gable-steveson-reaches-out-to-wwe-chairman-vince-mcmahon-after-winning-gold-at-2020-tokyo-olympics/]. He said nothing else. However, he did the same with UFC President Dana White [https://twitter.com/GableSteveson/status/1424970022812856332]. It’s possible he wants to join WWE first. In fact, he had already expressed wanting to be a part of WWE after he was done competing in the Olympics. Now that he has won gold, it’s unknown if he’s going to stick to his previous plan.

Steveson secured the NCAA Division I Heavyweight Title like Brock Lesnar did in his youth. Next, he won the gold medal the way Kurt Angle did in the 1996 Olympics. Both Lesnar and Angle have earned immense fame at WWE, and if Gable Steveson can display skills like them, he could genuinely become the next biggest superstar in WWE. Steveson has already expressed he wants to become the next biggest WWE superstar.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Brock Lesnar?Â </h2>
If there is one Superstar that does not need any introduction, it's Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate was one of the most dominant wrestlers in WWE history, as his sheer physical and athletic superiority gave him an undeniable edge over his opponents. Lesnar has been in the business long enough to add a huge blend of experience to his already superhuman abilities. He has had a well-decorated career so far and is one of the strongest athletes to ever grace the WWE ring.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnarâ€™s early lifeÂ </h2>
Brock Lesnar was born on July 12, 1977, in Webster, South Dakota to Ricard and Stephanie Lesnar. His parents did not have any connection with the wrestling world and ran a dairy farm. He has three siblings, two brothers and one sister named Troy Lesnar, Chad Lesnar, and Brandi Nichol Lesnar. Speaking of his education, Brock studied at Webster High School and was a big football fan throughout his school days.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnarâ€™s wife and children</h2>
Brock Lesnar met his life partner, Rena Greek, renowned by her ring name Sable while working with WWE. The couple finally tied the knot in May 2006 following an extensive dating period. Just like her husband, Sable has also made a name for herself in the wrestling world. She majorly dominated in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

As far as children are concerned, Lesnar became a father for the first time in 2002 as he welcomed a daughter named Mya Lynn and a son named Luke Lesnar with his then-fiancÃ©e Nicole McClain. Lesnar also has two kids with his wife Sable in the form of two sons, Turk and Duke Lesnar. Brock also essays the role of a stepfather for Mariah, who is Sable's biological daughter from her previous relationship.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnar net worth 2024</h2>
As per wealthygorilla.com, Brock Lesnar has a net worth of $25 million. The wrestler majorly earns from WWE while he also has a partnership with brands like Dymatize Nutrition and Death Clutch.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Brock Lesnarâ€™s career timeline</h2>
Brock Lesnar joined the World Wrestling Federation in 2000 and formed a team with Shelton Benjamin named The Minnesota Stretching Crew to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship a total of three times. His initial foray into WWE came in March 2022 during RAW. In his first game, he defeated The Hardy Boyz, and in June of the same year, won the King of the Ring tournament.

He also became eligible to participate in the Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam where he outshined <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/">The Rock</a> to become the youngest world champion in WWE's history.

[caption id="attachment_1963171" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1963171 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1393475587.jpg" alt="Brock Lesnar" width="1920" height="1264" /> GLENDALE, ARIZONA - APRIL 22: Brock Lesnar, former WWE champion and UFC champion, flexes for the crowd during a game between the Arizona Coyotes and Washington Capitals at Gila River Arena on April 22, 2022 in Glendale, Arizona.

Further, during his time with the company, Lesnar competed with a lot of wrestlers including <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-undertaker/">The Undertaker</a>, Hulk Hogan, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a>, Kurt Angle, and many others. In a surprising turn of events in 2004, the superstar decided to put a halt on his wrestling career to pursue his passion for football. Following his childhood dream of playing the sport, Lesnar didn't want to turn 40 with any regrets of what could have been. He joined the training leagues and soon caught wind of the scouts.

He was then called up for trials. However, a short while before the trials, Lesnar met with a big motorcycle accident, which injured him badly. According to Paul Heyman, Lesnar still went for the trials and completed the dash in record time.Â Sadly, the groin injury that he had sustained as a result of the accident proved to be the poison to his NFL career as it kept acting up. Lesnar was released from the Minnesota Vikings just half a season after he had joined.

Following his very short stint in the NFL, Brock decided to join the Japan-based wrestling promotion named New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). He was quick to make an impact there also as he defeated Kazuyuki Fujita and Masahiro Chono to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. In 2007, the star wrestler lost to Kurt Angle and thus decided to take a break from wrestling till 2012.

It was a dramatic comeback for Lesnar in WWE in 2012 as he lost to John Cena before defeating <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/triple-h/">Triple H</a>. The rivalry between Triple H and Lesnar continued for months as the two took turns to defeat one another. In 2014, the star returned to Raw to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by defeating The Undertaker and Cena.

He then went on to carry the Universal Champion title for a record 504 days following a victory against Goldberg at WrestleMania 33. It was <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/">Roman Reigns'</a> who put a dent in Brock's winning streak by defeating him at the SummerSlam. Following that he won the WWE Championship and after some months took a break from the company.

Lesnar made his comeback to WWE at SummerSlam PPV after being out of action following his loss at WrestleMania to Drew McIntyre. The most surprising part about his comeback was that he rocked a ponytail and a beard, something that the WWE Universe never expected. The Beast then feuded with the reigning WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the Crown Jewel PPV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and lost.

[caption id="attachment_1908643" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1908643 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Brock-Lesnar-Roman-reigns-2.jpg" alt="Brock Lesnar: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more" width="1920" height="1280" /> Image Courtesy: Imago[/caption]

The pair was again set to face each other at the Day 1 event, but Reigns had to pull out of the match. Lesnar was then added to the Raw WWE Championship match in which he defeated Lashley, Rollins, Kevin Owens, and defending champion Big E. 'The Beast Incarnated' then faced Lashley at the Royal Rumble event and lost his title after interference from Reigns. Later that night, he entered the Rumble match at the 30th spot and won the whole thing. Following that, he continued making appearances at WrestleMania and Smackdown taking on different opponents.

The feat was later achieved by a handful of other superstars as well, and thus he currently occupies the sixth place on the esteemed list.

Daniel Cormier

Daniel Cormier 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements Before his career in MMA, Daniel Cormier was one of the most decorated freestyle wrestlers in the USA. He has won gold medals for wrestling in PAN American games, and he won a Bronze in the 2007 World Championship. He also represented the USA in the Olympics in 2004 and secured fourth place. Cormier was also the team captain for the 2008 Olympics in wrestling, but he had to pull out of the event. Before making his debut in UFC, Daniel Cormier fought in another elite organization, Strikeforce. In the heavyweight division, Cormier won the Grand prix title in Strikeforce by defeating Josh Barnett. In UFC, Cormier started his career in the heavyweight division against former champion, Frank Mir.

In the lightweight division, Cormier challenged Jon Jones for the title and suffered the first loss of his MMA career.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Wrestling: Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021</h2>
Wrestling has featured in 31 of the 32 Olympic Games. The exception was the <a href="https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/paris-1900" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1900</a> Olympics. However, it returned for the <a href="https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/st-louis-1904/results/wrestling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1904</a> Olympiad and was a core component of the Games for the next 108 years. One of the sports to be held at the inaugural edition of the modern Olympiad, wrestling, has had a tumultuous time over the last few years. Just <a href="https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/1526010-olympics-2020-ioc-removes-wrestling-from-olympic-program.amp.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eight</a> years ago wrestling was off the agenda for the 2020 Olympic Games. However, the sport made a <a href="https://www.espn.in/olympics/story/_/id/9650530/wrestling-gets-reinstated-2020-olympics#:~:text=BUENOS%20AIRES%2C%20Argentina%20%2D%2D%20Seven,from%20baseball%2Dsoftball%20and%20squash." target="_blank" rel="noopener">comeback</a> with a few changes to make it appealing to a global audience. 

One of the <a href="https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/wrestling-101-rules" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changes</a> included the elimination of a safety first approach under the sets system. Here, a wrestler who was in the lead (had won 2 sets out of three) would be defensive, leading to dwindling interest among audiences that craved action. 

[caption id="attachment_688303" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-688303 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-593235252.jpg" alt="Kyle Snyder, USA Wrestling" width="1920" height="1353" /> RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - AUGUST 21: Kyle Frederick Snyder of the United States celebrates after winning gold over Khetag Goziumov (not pictured) of Azerbaijan during the Men's Freestyle 97kg Gold medal match on Day 16 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at Carioca Arena 2 on August 21, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images)[/caption]

Three sets of two minutes each made way for two sets of three minutes each, with the winner being the one who accumulated most points across both sets. The new system resulted in wrestlers being kept on their toes even in the last few seconds, as a momentary lapse in concentration could see them eliminated. 

The most successful wrestler at the Olympics is Japan's Ocho Kaori. The phenomenon <a href="https://olympics.com/en/athletes/kaori-icho" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> 4 medals (4 Gold) in her four appearances at the Games from Athens 2004 to Rio 2016. She was <a href="https://wrestlingtv.in/its-official-japanese-wrestling-legend-kaori-icho-will-not-compete-at-tokyo-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> a shot at her fifth Olympics appearance as Risiko Kawai earned a berth for Tokyo at her preferred weight class. 

The USA has <a href="https://thebridge.in/wrestling/wrestling-olympics-medal-standings-22130" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won</a> the most (133) medals (Gold, 54 Silver, 43 Bronze 36) in Olympic wrestling. However, the Soviet Union with 116 medals (62 Gold, 31 Silver 23, Bronze) sits in the top spot as they have more golds than the USA. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Wrestling at Tokyo 2020 </h2>
Just like the 2016 Olympics, wrestling will feature 18 events, with 6 events in each of men's Freestyle, women's Freestyle, and men's Greco-Roman. A total of 288 wrestlers will take to the mats at the Makuhari Messe. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Top Wrestlers at Tokyo Olympics 2020</h2>
Team USA will <a href="https://www.teamusa.org/news/2021/april/04/fifteen-us-wrestlers-secure-their-spots-in-tokyo-at-us-olympic-team-trials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">see</a> six women take to the mats at the Makuhari Messe. These are Sarah Hildebrandt (50 kg), Jacarra Winchester (53 kg), Helen Mouralis (57 kg), Kayla Miracle (62 kg), Tamyra Mensah-Stock (68 kg), and Adeline Gray (76 kg). 

[caption id="attachment_688309" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-688309 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-520274264.jpg" alt="Kyle Dake" width="1920" height="1406" /> IOWA CITY, IOWA - APRIL 10: Kyle Dake competes in the 86kg freestyle quarterfinal match against Richard Perry during day 2 of the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Wrestling Trials at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on April 10, 2016 in Iowa City, Iowa.

In the men's freestyle, Thomas Gilman (57 kg), Kyle Dake (74 kg) David Taylor (86 kg) Kyle Snyder (97 kg), Gable Stevenson (125 kg) will look to impress. 

Meanwhile, in the Greco-Roman events, Ildar Hafizov (60 kg), Alejandro Sancho (67 kg), John Stefanowicz (87 kg), and G'Angelo Hancock (96 kg) will seek glory. 

[caption id="attachment_688298" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-688298 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-592327756.jpg" alt="Abdulrashid Sadulaev, Wrestling" width="1920" height="1280" /> RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - AUGUST 20: Abdulrashid Sadulaev of Russia celebrates victory over Selim Yasar of Turkey in the Men's Freestyle 86kg Gold Medal bout on Day 15 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at Carioca Arena 2 on August 20, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)[/caption]

Dominant four-time world champion, Abdulrashid Sadulaev, will <a href="https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/wrestling-five-watch-tokyo-olympics-2021-06-24/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">look</a> to back up his Gold from Rio. However, this time he will look to prove his worth in a higher weight class. The 25-year-old Russian, who has an astounding record of 131-2 on the mat, will look to leave Tokyo with it reading 135-2. He is expected to have a rubber match against Snyder at 97 kg. 

In the women’s events Rio gold medalist, Risiko Kawai will look for another trip to the top step of the podium before her home fans. She will compete in the 57 kg event 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Competition format</h2>
Each event sees 16 wrestlers enter the fray. The competition will begin from a round of 16 in a bracket-based tournament format.

Wrestling is probably the only sport where the loser roots for the victor as the repechage format allows all the finalists' vanquished opponents to compete for the two Bronze medals on offer. A total of 6 wrestlers (3 beaten by each finalist) will return to competition on day two and compete in bouts just before the event final. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Types of Wrestling</h2>
Freestyle and Greco-Roman are the two types of wrestling at the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tokyo-olympics-2020-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021</a>. The former was introduced in 1904, whereas the latter had been <a href="https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/athens-1896/results/wrestling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">part</a> of the Games at Athens 1896. 

In the event of a tie in a <a href="https://olympics.com/en/featured-news/what-how-freestyle-wrestling-style-rules-scoring-techniques-olympics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">freestyle</a> bout, the wrestler who earned the most points through a single move wins. If this is the same, the one with the least cautions gets the victory. Another way to break the tie is to award the win to the competitor who scored the final point. The last step is another technique to keep a wrestler on his/her toes until the final seconds. Freestyle bouts get halted if one wrestler secures a 10-point lead (technical superiority stoppage). 

[caption id="attachment_688312" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-688312 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-150133468.jpg" alt="Wrestling" width="1920" height="1281" /> LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 10: Jordan Ernest Burroughs (L) of the United States celebrates his gold medal in the Men's Freestyle 74 kg Wrestling on Day 14 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at ExCeL on August 10, 2012 in London, England. (Photo by Feng Li/Getty Images)[/caption]

The same <a href="https://olympics.com/en/featured-news/what-how-greco-roman-wrestling-style-rules-scoring-techniques-olympics">criteria</a> hold for Greco-Roman. The only difference is that a technical superiority stoppage comes at an 8 point gap. 

As Freestyle bouts have a 30-second system (mandatory scoring for a designated passive wrestler) if the first two minutes do not produce a single point, there is no chance of these bouts ending 0-0. If the passive wrestler does not secure a point, the opponent, who has every reason to be defensive for half a minute, takes the point. 

In Greco-Roman, the referee breaks a scoreless draw by raising the arm of the one he viewed as more active.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Wrestling Schedule for Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021</h2>
Wrestling at the Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021 will <a href="https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/schedule/wrestling-schedule" target="_blank" rel="noopener">begin</a> on August 1 and go on until August 7.

Wrestling: Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021

Wrestling: Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021 Wrestling has featured in 31 of the 32 Olympic Games. The exception was the 1900 Olympics. However, it returned for the 1904 Olympiad and was a core component of the Games for the next 108 years. One of the sports to be held at the inaugural edition of the modern Olympiad, wrestling, has had a tumultuous time over the last few years. Just eight years ago wrestling was off the agenda for the 2020 Olympic Games. However, the sport made a comeback with a few changes to make it appealing to a global audience.  One of the changes included the elimination of a safety first approach under the sets system. Here, a wrestler who was in the lead (had won 2 sets out of three) would be defensive, leading to dwindling interest among audiences that craved action.  RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL &#8211; AUGUST 21: Kyle Frederick Snyder of the United States celebrates after winning gold over Khetag Goziumov (not pictured) of Azerbaijan during the Men&#8217;s Freestyle 97kg Gold medal match on Day 16 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at Carioca Arena 2 on August 21, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images) Three sets of two minutes each made way for two sets of three minutes each, with the winner being the one who accumulated most points across both sets. The new system resulted in wrestlers being kept on their toes even in the last few seconds, as a momentary lapse in concentration could see them eliminated.  The most successful wrestler at the Olympics is Japan&#8217;s Ocho Kaori. The phenomenon claimed 4 medals (4 Gold) in her four appearances at the Games from Athens 2004 to Rio 2016. She was denied a shot at her fifth Olympics appearance as Risiko Kawai earned a berth for Tokyo at her preferred weight class.  The USA has won the most (133) medals (Gold, 54 Silver, 43 Bronze 36) in Olympic wrestling. However, the Soviet Union with 116 medals (62 Gold, 31 Silver 23, Bronze) sits in the top spot as they have more golds than the USA.  Wrestling at Tokyo 2020  Just like the 2016 Olympics, wrestling will feature 18 events, with 6 events in each of men&#8217;s Freestyle, women&#8217;s Freestyle, and men&#8217;s Greco-Roman. A total of 288 wrestlers will take to the mats at the Makuhari Messe.  Top Wrestlers at Tokyo Olympics 2020 Team USA will see six women take to the mats at the Makuhari Messe. These are Sarah Hildebrandt (50 kg), Jacarra Winchester (53 kg), Helen Mouralis (57 kg), Kayla Miracle (62 kg), Tamyra Mensah-Stock (68 kg), and Adeline Gray (76 kg).  IOWA CITY, IOWA &#8211; APRIL 10: Kyle Dake competes in the 86kg freestyle quarterfinal match against Richard Perry during day 2 of the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Wrestling Trials at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on April 10, 2016 in Iowa City, Iowa. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) In the men&#8217;s freestyle, Thomas Gilman (57 kg), Kyle Dake (74 kg) David Taylor (86 kg) Kyle Snyder (97 kg), Gable Stevenson (125 kg) will look to impress.  Meanwhile, in the Greco-Roman events, Ildar Hafizov (60 kg), Alejandro Sancho (67 kg), John Stefanowicz (87 kg), and G&#8217;Angelo Hancock (96 kg) will seek glory.  RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL &#8211; AUGUST 20: Abdulrashid Sadulaev of Russia celebrates victory over Selim Yasar of Turkey in the Men&#8217;s Freestyle 86kg Gold Medal bout on Day 15 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at Carioca Arena 2 on August 20, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images) Dominant four-time world champion, Abdulrashid Sadulaev, will look to back up his Gold from Rio. However, this time he will look to prove his worth in a higher weight class. The 25-year-old Russian, who has an astounding record of 131-2 on the mat, will look to leave Tokyo with it reading 135-2. He is expected to have a rubber match against Snyder at 97 kg.  In the women’s events Rio gold medalist, Risiko Kawai will look for another trip to the top step of the podium before her home fans. She will compete in the 57 kg event  Competition format Each event sees 16 wrestlers enter the fray. The competition will begin from a round of 16 in a bracket-based tournament format. Wrestling is probably the only sport where the loser roots for the victor as the repechage format allows all the finalists&#8217; vanquished opponents to compete for the two Bronze medals on offer. A total of 6 wrestlers (3 beaten by each finalist) will return to competition on day two and compete in bouts just before the event final.  Types of Wrestling Freestyle and Greco-Roman are the two types of wrestling at the Tokyo Olympics 2020-2021. The former was introduced in 1904, whereas the latter had been part of the Games at Athens 1896.  In the event of a tie in a freestyle bout, the wrestler who earned the most points through a single move wins. If this is the same, the one with the least cautions gets the victory. Another way to break the tie is to award the win to the competitor who scored the final point. The last step is another technique to keep a wrestler on his/her toes until the final seconds. Freestyle bouts get halted if one wrestler secures a 10-point lead (technical superiority stoppage).  LONDON, ENGLAND &#8211; AUGUST 10: Jordan Ernest Burroughs (L) of the United States celebrates his gold medal in the Men&#8217;s Freestyle 74 kg Wrestling on Day 14 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at ExCeL on August 10, 2012 in London, England. (Photo by Feng Li/Getty Images) The same criteria hold for Greco-Roman. The only difference is that a technical superiority stoppage comes at an 8 point gap.  As Freestyle bouts have a 30-second system (mandatory scoring for a designated passive wrestler) if the first two minutes do not produce a single point, there is no chance of these bouts ending 0-0. If the passive wrestler does not secure a point, the opponent, who has every reason to be defensive for half a minute, takes the point.  In Greco-Roman, the referee breaks a scoreless draw by raising the arm of the one he viewed as more active.
