News The Immortal keepin it real on Gable

Yup.
I've said it before somewhere that this alone differentiates him from Brock.
He doesn't seem to stand and bang. Provided that he fought a can but who is Gable? Also a can standing up you could say.
So really props to him.
Not to mention the vertical jumpining ability. He will squash fools heads ala Mario.

Book him vs a Goomba next IMO

I could see it. Brock was in a similar position and didn't get into trouble until he got caught in a leg lock by Mir, who is levels above all the BJJ guys at HW today. There's so many positions and nuances to mma that Gable doesn't know, but if he's good enough to confidently take anyone down, then good at keeping the right positions to avoid submissions. Also assuming he can finish with GNP or cardio for 5 rounds if that fails. Then he could do it.

Brock went from being leglocked by Mir in 2008, to keeping him on the ground and finishing him there in 2009. We've never seen Aspinall fight someone like Almeida yet, even Blaydes never got to shoot takedowns. Never seen Aspinall get controlled and pull a sub off his back like Mir, hell he could have worse cardio than Gable. There's lots of unknowns with even the champ.

I say it's possible. UFC will never book him directly like that so it's fine won't happen. But I could see him getting Volkov or Lewis or someone, then titleshot afterwards and winning. The division isn't even big enough to test him really. Maybe Almeida, but even he's kind of retarded with fight IQ.

What a bunch of bullshit lol,Randy isnt beating Brock at any point in their careers

June 2025 join date tells me this is either a) your alt account for trolling or b) you are a baby and never saw the fight.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

It's much easier to look immortal in teh kiddie pool.

It "has potential" to transfer over to top competition, but we gotta see his reaction to taking some big strikes from a top of teh food chain fighter before we'll know for sure.

 

[Spiderbite]

I thought the same thing about Nickal.
On paper, Gable is the uncrowned king of the HW division.

But at this point, I need to see him fight someone who isn't doing this as a hobby.

 

[seanb1979]

It reminds me of the Ben Askren hype.

except this guy is more athletic, actually a decent striker who's improving fast, young, and entering into a weak division

Yes i started watching yesterday what toolbag you are lmao

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

>Has literally never faced any legit fighter or competition in mma
>Can become champion right now

Retard take.

Both of those things can be true though

Randy was winning that fight. Not sure who else forced Brock to blatantly grab the fence to fend off a body lock TD. Brock had 50 + lbs on Randy but couldn't overpower him.

 

[FriskyRandy]

I think he easily becomes champion today. HW has never looked so weak.
Hes the most athletic person to compete at HW.

All these posters saying Gable could possibly suck because hasnt been punched yet would never bet against him in a fight.

 

[mjoln]

Ok....then what? Its really hard to give a shit. There is nothing going on.

He wasn't
Couldn't overpower Randy but was the only one with top control and multiple takedowns in that fight,ok

Also the most blatant fence grab that happened and had big influence on the fight was Aldo vs Mendes,definitely not Brock

 

[fendertach]

The MMA world always prematurely ejaculates at the hype of decorated wrestlers.

That last male Olympic gold medalist in the UFC became a 2 division champion, no shit genius.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

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.

He said on Rogan that he’s only been seriously training striking a few months I believe, he’s picked it up quickly that’s for sure. I think he’ll do what Cormier would have if he stayed at HW, probably rule it for years once he gets the belt

Yes, Cornier is a way better example for his potential style than Lesnar.

I think he's already got better boxing than Lesnar ever did

The Immortal has always been a real one from what I've seen of him in and out of the cage.

On Gable:
“He could be champion literally today. If he went in and fought Tom Aspinall or Ciryl Gane or whoever is the champion, I don’t think there’s a chance anyone has against him. Obviously, you always have a chance in MMA, but I think he could be a champion tomorrow.

I’d pick him to beat the champion today. Keeping it real, I wouldn’t put my money against it if they fought tomorrow.”

His take is pretty much what went through my weirdo head when I first heard Gable was getting into this shit.

Any y'all sherpimps warming up to the idea of a real HW alpha among alphas running this shit for awhile?

Gable Steveson predicted to beat Tom Aspinall 'today' by ex-UFC star despite huge experience gap

'The Immortal' expressed that opinion during an episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer on MMA Fighting, saying he would back Steveson to beat both Tom Aspinall

bloodyelbow.com

Maybe… or maybe he takes one good punch from someone like Salsa Boy and folds immediately.

 

[dominion]

There's a high chance that Gane pokes him so I'm not sure

 

[orca]

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

hes an olympian
hes not just some average wrestler
