Gable Steveson Makes a Bold UFC Debut with First-Round KO at UFC 329
Gable Steveson debuted in the UFC with a first-round TKO of Elisha Ellison at UFC 329, mixing leg kicks with a powerful left hand; his Olympic wrestling gold and NCAA titles have fans buzzing, though analysts say his defense still needs work. Ellison was an undersized heavyweight debut opponent, and Steveson has strong backing from Jon Jones and Greg Jackson as he climbs the ranks. Prize money wasn’t disclosed, but the event reportedly generated a $25 million gate, signaling bigger paydays ahead for the rising star.
