Former WWE Prospect Set for MMA Debut
Olympic Gold Medalist and former WWE signee Gable Steveson will make his professional mixed martial arts debut for the Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) in September.
Gable Dan Steveson (born May 31, 2000) is an American wrestler. In freestyle wrestling, Steveson was a 2020 Summer Olympic gold medalist, and was also a three-time age-group world champion. In folkstyle wrestling, Steveson was a two-time Dan Hodge Trophy winner, a two-time NCAA Division I national champion, a four-time Big Ten Conference champion, and five-time All-American out of the University of Minnesota.
After a brief appearance at WWE's SummerSlam in August 2021, Steveson was signed by the promotion the following month, becoming the second Olympic gold medalist to be signed by the company after Kurt Angle; however, he was released in May 2024 after only one poorly-received televised match.
He signed with the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League in May 2024, but was released in August before the start of the regular season.
