Gable Steveson's MMA debut officially made LFA 217 on September 12
Earlier this year, Gable Steveson confirmed that he has committed himself to MMA After spending a lot of time around Jones during his training camp for UFC 309.
The 25-year-old is one of the most successful wrestlers of his generation, who has won gold in Freestyle Wrestling at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Steveson looked at the transition of wrestling in various careers, including the WWE and NFL, but they didn't work out well for him.
These alternative paths that he took before he focused his attention on MMA cannot significantly influence his process because of his elite wrestling background and that he has enough time to work on other aspects of his game.
On August 19, LFA, who has been proven to be one of the most proven paths to the UFC, announced that Steveson has signed with the promotion and his heavyweight MMA debut on LFA 217 on 12 September.
The former Olympian will compete against the 37-year-old Braden Peterson, who won his Pro MMA debut earlier this year by stopping Chris Thompson in 14 seconds in Fusion Fight League in Montana.
Fans have high expectations of the MMA career of Gable Steveson
Thanks to his wrestling family tree and the work he did alongside Jon Jones, there has been a lot of hype around Gable Steveson and his MMA career.
This was clear in the response of the fans to his debut that was announced, with the assumption that Steveson will build some experience in LFA before he came to the UFC.
“He can be a champion immediately.”
'This is very interesting because the UFC Heavyweight Division is currently Dogs -. When [Tom] Aspinall Beats [Ciryl] Gane, nobody is exciting for him to fight. He has already beaten everyone. If Gable can get to the UFC, he only needed a few victories before he can get a title shot. '
“Heavyweight needs this.”
'Exciting. It is an athletic heavyweight. '
“LFA heavyweights are in trouble.”
'Guy Try the next Brock [Lesnar] lol. '
