Gable Steveson has spoken about his upcoming UFC debut after it was announced that his first appearance will take place during this year’s International Fight Week.
As we now know, Gable Steveson is the latest member of the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster after a strong start to his mixed martial arts career. It was always likely that he would make a solid transition over, but now, he will have the opportunity to really shake things up in the heavyweight division as he attempts to go all the way and become a UFC champion.
That’s going to be easier said than done for Gable Steveson, but with Jon Jones by his side, anything is possible. He can’t do the work for him, of course, but when you have one of the greatest of all time trying to help you reach the next level, it’s easy to see why there’s a lot of confidence flowing through Gable right now, especially when you add in the fact that he was already an elite athlete before even entering MMA.
In terms of what we can expect from Gable Steveson, and International Fight Week as a whole, the man himself had the following to say in a recent video.
