MMA media member Eric Jackman believes Gable Steveson could become UFC heavyweight champion sometime in 2026.
As we know, Gable Steveson is an interesting talent in the world of mixed martial arts. After testing the waters in professional wrestling and then professional football, he landed on MMA. The early signs are pretty good, with his first few appearances suggesting he could have the potential to do big things in the UFC if he is signed to the promotion.
Of course, Gable Steveson still has a lot of work to do before he can reach the top of the mountain, but there certainly seems to be a lot of belief in him from many within the sport. He has that too Jon Jones in his corner, and considering he’s one of the greatest of all time, that can only be a good thing.
In one recent chat with Ariel Helwani, Eric Jackman gave a big prediction for Gable Steveson this year.
Eric Jackman’s take on Gable Steveson
“Gable Stevenson, UFC champion by the end of 2026. You win one in the White House, they look around the desolate heavyweight division and you… throw him out there with the champion and he gets it done. Gable Stevenson, UFC champion by the end of 2026. It happens with the White House victory over God knows who and then they just go, we have a 25-year-old stud. There’s nothing going on in this division. It’s desolate.”
“Throw them in. Let’s just do this and start the train. Make him a champion now and let’s…just get started, because man, you hear Joe Rogan talking about him. You hear Dana White talking about how interested they are in him. You could do a lot worse than saying, ‘Let’s make this 25-year-old stud our future.’ Brock-esque. It’s Brok. It’s Brock 2.0.”
At just 25 years old, Steveson still has a long road ahead of him in the sport if he wants to keep it up. At the same time, we cannot underestimate how strong some elite heavyweights really are.
