As it turns out, Steveson is showing some grit to make a fairly quick return. Per a first report from Connected MMA, Steveson will return to action opposite Terrance Chatman at UFC 336, which is scheduled for Jan. 30, 2027 inside the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Who is Terrance Chatman? The 5-2 Heavyweight made his promotional debut back in August, quickly getting smoked by another top up-and-comer in Anthony Wint (see that finish here). For further context, Chatman has defeated exactly one opponent with a winning record.
At the same time, Steveson is returning less than six months after a bad knockout. That’s always a gamble, and there’s a high probability that Chatman is throwing haymakers from the first bell.
