If he'd become a superstar in the WWE first do you think that would make a run at HW in the UFC look better for the sport?

The bums at heavyweight today aren't ready for a gold medal Olympian athlete. It's just the truth.

Why did he have to put the emphasis on "literally today"?
I'm sorry, but that does make him sound a bit retarded. I like Matt though and believe in Gable, too.
Even Steveson himself acknowledged that he needs to mimic Chimaev and Makhachev, which is why they are working on exactly that. Unlike Matt,
he's obviously taking MMA more seriously and can see the patterns. What's important to change when coming from wrestling.

Gable is the best prospect in MMA right now by a long shot. He will be UFC HW champion. I agree with Matt on this one.
It isn’t just his wrestling credentials which are best in any weight class…it’s also the fight iQ he showed in his fight against those cans. He is flawlessly executing transitions that show a comfortability in there that far outweighs his cage experience. His hands are honestly really good and he’s fast and has KO power. He’s an athletic freak in his 20’s the HW division is about to get ruled by its new king.

They always say this about these wrestling prospects coming in and then they suffer a humiliating loss. Bo Nickal vs RDR, Gregory Gillespie vs Kevin Lee, DC's protege Deron Winn vs anyone he fought at 185. The fact is there's a difference between athlete and fighter, this guy might be better at wrestling than anyone in the UFC but even a guy like Waldo Acosta could make him quit with a jab and a sprawl

Cunha and Bilalov would be solid tests, he should be able to maul Hugo but it's still a much better opponent than anyone he's faced so far.
He's got all of two fights so far, against cans and he's disposed of them as he should but let's not act as though they were anything but showcase fights. Having said that I'd rather have him in the UFC already cuz HW sucks, same with Bilalov and Rahmani, and Rico if he's really signing. Just sign anyone that looks decent even if you risking picking up dogshit like that polish guy who lost to Freeman.
