News Gable Steveson MMA Debut Announced - Sep. 12th

[mma fighter]

Can he take a punch? That is the biggest question. He has great skill but we don't know what his ability and willingness to take damage is.

 

[JohnMandick]

The HW division is garbage, so I'd bet he'll do great.

Just use the Khamzat game plan from his last fight and repeat.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

He's an S-tier prospect for sure, but I would like to see him get some reginoal experience after this fight (win or lose).

 

[Araquém]

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

Lol! Brock Lesnar was a bum in MMA

If he have the same fighting ability of Brock Lesnar he would be wrecked

 

[Clark Rogers]

Is it time to call him GOAT yet?

 

[Araquém]

He's way more athletic and explosive than Aliakbari.

*Should* do great is more accurate, but it will depend on where he trains, who he trains with.

I see people making the DC comparison, but that's not so easy. DC had Cain to work with every day.

How did you know that he way more athletic and explosive?

 

[Araquém]

Based on his body build. Like I said, it's a guess.

And Brock reacted terribly, but he had a monster fucking chin.

Body build? Since when body type have anything to do with being good at fighting?

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

I trust Brock to supply him with all the necessary gear to be successful in the UFC.

Body build? Since when body type have anything to do with being good at fighting?

It doesn't. I said he could probably take a shot. That means getting hit. Where did you get skill out of what I posted?

Brocks still way bigger but you're using pictures of Gable at 18/19 years old. He has added some muscle and bulk.

 

[Corona]

Didn’t he basically fail at pro wrestling for being lazy? Wild to think an Olympian would have a half assed work ethic. He’s also a huge POS. Potential is there but I hope he gets his ass whooped.

 

[Araquém]

Video exists

And what in those videos show that he is way more athletic and explosive than Aliakbari?

 

[Araquém]

Clown take.

6-3 in MMA, bum

 

[Araquém]

It doesn't. I said he could probably take a shot. That means getting hit. Where did you get skill out of what I posted?

Lol! Since when body type have anything to do with handle getting hit either?

 

[Aurelian]

Lol! Since when body type have anything to do with handle getting hit either?

I said I was guessing. What the fuck is your problem?

 

[chinarice]

The HW division is garbage, so I'd bet he'll do great.

Just use the Khamzat game plan from his last fight and repeat.

Better wrestlers than Khamzat can't and never proved they could do what Khamzat did to DDP in a MMA bout. There is nothing to go off of right now to believe Gable could replicate what Khamzat did.

 

[Shadey1]

Curious to see how he does. A good athlete with good credentials. If he looks decent I don't see it taking long for the UFC to pick him up
