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.

McGregor’s comeback under the UFC 329 spotlight as hype, doubts collide

As UFC 329 approaches, a roundtable of MMA Fighting analysts debate whether Conor McGregor can look viable after a five-year layoff and near-38 years old against Max Holloway, with a win framed as a gateway to future superfights and a loss potentially signaling the end of Holloway’s ascent. The discussion also spotlights what success would look like for McGregor today, how Holloway’s career could bend after a defeat, and what else on the card (notably Steveson’s UFC debut and Pimblett vs. Saint Denis) could steal the show, underscoring that the event’s depth goes far beyond the main event.
