How excited are you about Gable Stevenson?

[Clark Rogers]

Tons of potential, we'll see how he takes to getting punched in the face.

I'd like to know what happened between him and the other half of TKO. He was signed with WWE a WHILE and never made it, not sure if it was personality, surely it wasn't ability. Just has me curious what was behind all that and whether any aspect might apply here, but doubtful.

I don't get excited for things like this but I will watch when the time comes.

 

[froggyluv]

Excited to see Brocks Black Son

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

6/10. Still a lot of questions to be answered.

Will he be Bo Nickal? Will he turtle up like Brock when he gets hit?

It will be interesting.

Immense potential, anybody who denies it is just being a hater.

Brock couldn't take getting punched in the face and still became UFC champ.

 

[xhaydenx]

The moment I saw him leap right over the ring ropes in one big jump in that boxing match I knew that he was going to be UFC champ.

 

[bobafett]

I’m trying not to get too excited until we see what happens if he gets hit good

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

And you're white knighting a dumb drunk bitch who wanted to get spit roasted and woke up regretting her decisions. Dumbasses like you should face consequences for slandering an innocent mans name.

Drunk people cannot and should not be able to properly consent. Anyone pretending they should just because that's the system you're used to and where a woman is easier to manipulate into sex and leaves her at full blame for her actions is sus, my guy

Aware. He also lost that to Cain largely due to that weakness. Point stands.

So if i go out to bar, and I'm drinking with a girl, and she agrees to come back to my place, i manipulated her into sex and raped her because she's unable to consent? Are you actually fucking stupid?

Immense potential, anybody who denies it is just being a hater.

Potential comes by a lot in MMA and also doesnt translate a lot either, so people are reserved with their excitement about it. Which is especially more called for when the specific case of potential has A) a relatively smaller window to actualize the potential B) a division where actualized potential means less than other divisions because of everyone getting by on low-skill knockout power, and C) has already had other avenues where his potential was supposed to actualize, but was seemingly never proceeding along.

So as far as everyone getting on the wagon: Can he make it? Sure. But the horse comes first, not the wagon.

 

[fries in the bag]

fat and short

more excited about rico verhoeven

 

[wufabufa]

We'll see if he can even make it to fight night. He's got a pretty checkered past when it comes to fulfilling contracts.

5/10 with his current track record.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Bro can jump high and do flips
Too bad this is MMA and not track & field
Should of tried out for high jump or gymnastics instead

3/10

Black Beast sleeps him

That's what I'm talking about. A combat sport that has a little better track record in translating.


Arguably the best wrestler in UFC history had no wrestling background, and one of the best wrestling backgrounds was barely average as a wrestler in the UFC.

 

[Staph infection]

Strip Tom and give Gable the belt

Nice Tom emoji at the end but the chin is a little too round.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Imagine Gable vs Rico. Someone is going to sleep.

He’s a promising talent and I’m very excited. However, it’s too early to tell if he will be the next DC (or better) or another King Mo.

 

[Ghostoftheville]

A heavyweight built similar to Cain, but significantly more successful than Cain or Cormier in their collegiate and amateur careers as a whole that's entering MMA at the ripe age of 25. Shows speed and ko power, though admittedly against questionable competition with the biggest questions being that he didn't win his last amateur match or give pro wrestling a legitimate shot while they paid him to train?
8/10 I was more pumped for Brock because I actually cared about the heavyweight division at that time. But still pumped.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Seems mma wasn’t his preferred choice. The guy tried everything to avoid going the mma route (other than just get a normal job) and fell back to this as his last plan

Why would MMA be anyone's preferred choice? Most guys fall into it

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I am excited, because UFC HW is just beyond bad right now, its dreadful. Anyone with some talent is a great signing at this point, very happy with Gable and Rico being in UFC. UFC HW can do with anyone it can get. So its a good thing
