News Gable Stevenson calls out UFC

[Leinster Rugby]

Gable Steveson demolishes opponent in 15 seconds at DBX 4, makes pitch to join the UFC | MMA Fighting https://share.google/U4zULurTGphsOL1gF

Looks like he's interested in a move to the UFC.

Also looks like he might have quite a lot of potential for a future of beating people up!

Bo Nickal part 2?

 

[loisestrad]

To be fair, that's quicker than Tom Aspinall has ever demolished someone.

 

[oski]

Potentially, the most dangerous man on Earth. Training with Jones and Ryan and them? Gonna be fun watchin this play out.

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Is that his second win now??

I don't know, beat up a few more people quickly them join the UFC.

He can pick up 10 wins this year, pad that resume. UFC will only give him one fight per year.

 

[chardog]

he beat a 4-3 green mma fighter that's on a 3 fight loss streak before making this is 4th loss in a row, calm down, he needs a bit more growing to do.

 

[oski]

Whole fight...

Huge super-athlete incoming!

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Would love to see him in the UFC. Hope they get him ASAP.

Bo Nickal part 2?

Steveson is FAR above Bo Nickal. Bo Nickal was a stud wrestler, but he didn't even make the Olympic team. Gable Steveson is a gold medalist.

 

[chinarice]

I'd rather see him in the UFC than Hamdy Abdelwahab or Chris Barnett

 

[sdpdude9]

Lots of potential but running over a couple nobodies should be expected for a guy like him. He’s only 25, let him get a few more fights experience. It won’t take much, heavyweight sucks.

 

[Last Falconry]

is the guy he's fighting an actual bus driver

Gable + Coach Jon for the gold!!

Bo Nickal part 2?

More like Mark Madsen part 2. he might make some noise with the unranked fighters but will hit a wall when he fights ranked guys, unless he masters the Jones Eye Poke.

To be fair, that's quicker than Tom Aspinall has ever demolished someone.

Yes, but Aspinall isn't demolishing people that multiple Sherdoggers could defeat- low-level. Bo demolished guys like that too.

 

[JKS]

If he can get a few more easy wins why not. Weidman joing the UFC at 4-0, Jones was 6-0 and both became very successful. Many other examples.

It is HW in the UFC, they would have him fight some lower level guys and move up and develop.

Yes, levels of wrestling aren't any guarantee no matter how high. That was my point.

Unless you are talking mid-90s MMA. Gable definitely could have beaten Fred Ettish.

I hope he does come to the UFC (moderately exciting), I just am not at all convinced he will be championship level when even at HW there could be 1-2 guys that actually would match up well with an inexperienced wrestler in a 5-round fight. Let's see how he develops.

HW GOAT candidate Caín Velasquez was 2-0 when he debuted in UFC

 

[World eater]

I don’t know. The guy trains with Jon Jones, is an Olimpic level athlete, but he’s 1-0 in mma and is a HW at 181 cm. He’s also 25 year old. Maybe a DC run in front of him?

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Honestly at this point with the HW division being what it is I feel like they should just say fuck it and go full Brock with him. Sign him now, put him against someone like Lewis right off the bat, then if he wins give him a shot at the Tom/Gane 2 winner. Just go all in and see how things land.
