News Gable Steveson MMA Debut Announced - Sep. 12th

[Black9]

Hyped up by virtually every UFC fighter.. HW Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson makes pro debut

How would he do in current UFC HW division?

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

He’ll get Khamzat down and hold him there

 

[Mesos]

After 2 fights he will probably be on Contender.

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Wow.
Huge potential.
Will watch.

 

[Last Falconry]

September 12? He has time to switch his career at least four more times by then

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Will crush some cans before getting called up on DWCS and pushed, which I'm fine with. Just think it'll be really funny if he has a glass chin or if like Chael he has a weakness to triangles or somethin silly like that.
Wrestling wise, obviously, no one is going to be able to hold a candle to him.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

He gets punched in the face once, taps out, and cries.

 

[560ti]

Hope it goes better than his WWE and NFL stints.

 

[Aurelian]

He's a natural HW and I'm going to guess he has a decent chin on him. Can probably take a shot.

He needs to put in work with BJJ first and then striking.

 

[Xuh]

he's certainly got the tattoos for MMA


(actually they might be a bit too 'good' for MMA. Hype?!)

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Debut in LFA is no joke

 

[GolovKing]

He’ll get Khamzat down and hold him there

Nah he'll end up having a suspect gas tank and try to make himself into a boxer

 

[bng]

am I tripping or I've already heard about this Gayball Stevenson guy going either WWE or MMA 4 or 5 years ago

 

[Aurelian]

He’ll get Khamzat down and hold him there

He'd throw Khamzat around in pure wrestling lol

 

[AndrewGolota48]

It's clear by now we have literally no idea how he'll do. If you looked at Aaron Pico vs Conor McGregor on paper before they both got into MMA, you would never guess how it played out.

I remember years back most of Sherdog acted like Bilyal would walk in and take over MMA just because of his wrestling background, but I wouldn't be surprised if he lost to Tim Johnson back then.

 

[theincognito]

He'll do great

Big HW, athletic as fuck, world class wrestling

This is like if Brock got into MMA young but he's an even better wrestler

Or be like Askren and basically refuse to develop any other part of his game.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

We'll know if he's gonna be any good, after he takes one solid shot to the face...

 

[Söze Aldo]

He's a natural HW and I'm going to guess he has a decent chin on him. Can probably take a shot.

He needs to put in work with BJJ first and then striking.

Based on what? Wrestlers tend to react terribly to shots, at least early on. Brock did, Bo does. His chin could be suspect.

Or he could be like Aliakbari.
