Ahead of his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut, Gable Steveson has claimed that he can be the best at any sport he plays.
The Olympic gold medalist and former NCAA wrestling champion, who will face Elisha Ellison at UFC 329 on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, has opened up about what it feels like to be the “next big thing” in the sport.
Gable Steveson comments on versatile athleticism: ‘I can be the best at anything’
Steveson believes he could dominate any sport he undertakes. Already 3-0 in MMA, he is high in confidence heading into his UFC debut, which is reflected in his recent comments.
“I think it’s a huge way to go out there and have people say, ‘Man, he could be the next big thing,’” Steveson said in a recent interview. “But I think when you believe that you can be the next big thing, that is a different story. Because other people say, ‘You can be,’ but you already know that you will be.”
“So, I believe I can be the best at anything,” he continued, reiterating his belief that he can become world class in whatever sport he takes on. “I can play baseball, I can play soccer, I can go out there and play cricket, I can do anything I probably ever wanted. So, that’s my mindset.”
Steveson will step into the Octagon as a massive betting favorite against Ellison. Beyond his wrestling pedigree, the Olympian is leaving no stone unturned as he looks to make a name for himself in MMA, having added Jon Jones to the team behind him.
“It has to be dominating.”
