Media Joe Rogan believes Gable Steveson is already ELITE among UFC Heavyweights

[WINGNUT]

Hell, what's gonna happen the first time Jailton gives him the backpack treatment and he can't figure out why he's getting outwrestled for a change? We saw it happen to Koscheck in his first fight with GSP. He had no idea how to react to getting outwrestled.

not saying he cant be sub'd but lets be real, hes 100% not getting outwrestled.

Considering the division is currently ruled by a blind vlogger and a Frenchman who was outwrestled by Ngannou, I’d say Gabe would be #1 immediately upon joining the UFC.

Joe Rogan also said Ronda Rousey would beat Floyd Mayweather in a fight...

It could be true in Gable's case but it's pure speculation. He's only fought people who were beyond cans. Can't judge anything from that.

That Hamdy guy was also an Olympic wrestler and he was mid even with the current state of the HW division.

Until he does. When he's gassed out and sucking wind halfway through the first round, he's not gonna be able to defend anything. There are just too many variables in this sport to guarantee anything.

Joe Rogan sleeps naked with the door open and his ass up in the air

 

[bjjwar]

Not saying he couldnt bc the UFC HW division is atrocious and thin full of fat lazy untrained bums, but he fought a 0-0 guy and a dude who was 2-1. You can pick a random Joe from the street and he'd prob be a UFC top 5 HW.

Greg Hardy was also 3-0 with finishes in like 10 sec in his first fights, then went to the UFC racked up some wins since the division is terrible, but got destroyed by even average fighters.

Even Bo Nickal who has the striking abilities of CM Punk looked like prime Canelo vs all the bums he fought at the beginning of his career and these guys are p4p goat level next to the dudes Stevenson fought.

Lets wait till he has 3-4 UFC ranked fights...

Eh, ya never know. 2011, Cavalcante (31) defended against all 6 of Romero's (34) takedown, and even took Romero down on his own single attempt. Great BJJ, but not a wrestler.

 

[FilipEmoFights]

Ok so Rico Wiiaboeverhoven vs DSequel let’s see how it goes

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Guy's never fought a hard round in his life so no.

There's a guy or two im sure he could cherry pick into a top ranking but that doesnt mean he's one of the best yet.

 

[Elvis.]

Heavyweight is aweful so it’s quite possible, I’ve hope that he is because it makes the world s’more interesting place . I’ve beeb waiting for a hw destroyer to come along and beat everyone for years now

 

[CainWasAble]

Man he’s fast as hell, I’m hyped. Curious how he reacts to a tough fight but he’s an Olympic level wrestler so I assume he’s gritty

 

[Neck&Neck]

On EARTH !!!

 

[Histalian]

Gable will be the GOAT if he 2-3 years in Dagestan.

 

[Goatenstein]

Rightful champion Gane and the guy who took the easy way out against Gane would lose to Steveson.

 

[SuperNerd]

We're all 2 wins (and a diet) away from being in the top 5 of UFC HWs.

Add a little booking help, I think he can do it, easily.

 

[podsox]

Hell broke ass Greg hardy jumped up the ranks for a short period. Ofcourse an Olympic wrestler with hands is elite in this shitty division

 

[podsox]

His (MMA) cardio is also still an unknown factor.

So is the current heavyweight champions

 

[jsbx45]

Unfortunately these days the bar is set very low in the HW Division. Can't believe what should be the Marquee Division has de-volved into. I hope Aspinall gets himself sorted and fights soon.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Let me know when he beats a tough fighter. How can you be top 5 with no wins against any top 100 guys

 

[Last Falconry]

if it didn’t require listening to him talk, it might be funny to compile a database of things that Joe Rogan “believes”
