News Gable Steveson Goes 2-0 W/ QUICK KO - Future HW Champ?!

[Black9]

Future HW champ?!

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

chin and defense. someone need check it brather

 

[fendertach]

He's on another level athletically than the current crop of UFC HW's. People will say "I'll reserve judgement until I can see he can take a punch".. but Aspinall is the champ and we don't know if he can take a punch... Or fight 3 rounds, let alone 5.

Smartest thing the UFC can do right now is fast track Gable to a title shot.

The real question is:
who right now can stop him? Jon, who trains him with Ryan and them? Maybe, but who else?

He is a real freak athlete. The alpha among alphas. He moves like men half his size with ease and could smesh 10 of them at once...

I'm on board. If nothing else it'll be a blast watchin it play out.

Aspinall took a huge punch from Pavlovich and then ktfod him, his chin is legit I’d say. Whether he can go 5 rounds thats another story

Didn't Pav land a hard shot that Tom walked thru?

 

[HeffDoesWant]

Why isn't he in the NFL?

As long as his chin is solid he can panic shoot and avoid getting finished against all but the top 4 guys tbh.

Given how they picked up Hamdy, Gimenis and that polish can that just lost we might see Gable in the prelims by february honestly.

 

[arcadeperfect]

Lol how hard is it to spell his name correctly?

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

I'm impressed. That's a nasty lead left hook for someone who we know can wrestle like he can

Fluidly chaining the punch directly into the takedown too. This guy can fight

i mean the top 4 is basically where HW begins. everyone outside of that are practically part timers at this point. i fully expect him to be a top 5 HW on just his athleticism and wrestling alone. but just like there's a big gap between the top 5 and the top 10, there's a big gap between champ and top 5, and i have to see his chin and/or defense before i can form an adequate opinion if i believe he's a champion calibre HW.

 

[Black0ut]

I got no problem with him can crushing this early in his career but yes I will reserve judgement till I see him fighting anyone half legit.

EDIT : was a very slick finish tho

 

[MMAJunkie]

I thought that too.
Happy he is doing MMA

We need more HW athletic fighters

 

[Lou Duva]

Def future HW champ ship it

 

[don't ask]

Double legging an unconscious dude going down is impressive

 

[SpurNani]

Gable Stevenson is what it looks like when an elite American athlete choose MMA.

We could really dominate the entire sport if we didn't have so many options for our elite young athletes. Stevenson will walk thru the HW division.

Why isn't he in the NFL?

he couldn't get past the practice squad

 

[italiamusica]

Not on board at all lol He hasn't even been tested yet, he's barely been punched in the face and challenged at all. Especially working with Jones I'm sure they're going for the easiest matchups possible to keep him undefeated and looking like a "champ", but he's a noob. Give him someone legit and see what happens.

 

[italiamusica]

he couldn't get past the practice squad

And yet people still consider him the freakest of freak athletes lol.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

These fights are supposed to build experience, but it is really hard to build it when you're so much more of an athlete that you squash every opponent like he's Barry Horowitz.
