04/12/2026

Olympic gold medalist and former WWE developmental talent Gable Steveson has signed a deal with the UFC.

The news was announced last night during UFC 327 by Joe Rogan.

Steveson, 25, was present at the show sitting next to former champion Jon Jones. Steveson trains with Jones and is currently 3-0 in his MMA career.

He was signed to a WWE NIL deal in 2020 and then started training at the WWE Performance Center in 2021. He made a few WWE TV appearances but mostly worked in NXT. He was cut from his deal in 2024 despite the hype surrounding him and his pro wrestling career never really took off.
