MMA newcomer Gable Steveson has received praise from Joe Rogan, who recently updated Dana White on the progress he has made.
Since winning his Olympic gold medal, Gable Steveson has been seen as a legitimate contender in combat sports. For a while, it looked like he might be heading into the world of professional wrestling, but instead the 25-year-old has opted for mixed martial arts after things didn’t really work out in WWE.
As we know, Gable Steveson is seen by many as a controversial figure due to his sexual assault allegations dating back to 2019. That being said, many mixed martial arts fans are choosing to ignore that and instead focus on what he can do inside the cage, where he has managed a 2-0 record thus far.
In a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan gave his thoughts on Gable Steveson’s progression and potential.
Joe Rogan praises Gable Steveson
“Gable Steveson is the damn man, that’s the man. He’s not even in the UFC yet. Olympic gold medalist, crazy athlete, 250 pounds, moves like a cat, that’s the man.”
“I texted Dana White, I sent him a video of Gable Steveson’s last fight, I said, ‘Everyone is f–, everyone is f– when this guy comes out,’ he hit this guy with his left hand and then knocked him out as he was getting knocked out.
“It’s so damn crazy how fast this guy is, first of all, he’s already really good at hitting and he’s only been hitting for a year… Dude, everyone is damned. That kind of speed is crazy for a heavyweight,” Rogan continued.

Will he be able to find success where he didn’t in WWE and the NFL? Only time will tell.
