"CM Punk fought here - we'll find somebody. I don't know if we go after a top 15 guy. I say this to you guys all the time: The UFC jitters are real. I don't care how you've competed or where or what you've done. When you come here, it's a different level."
"Our matchmakers are the best in the business. We'll figure him out and get him the right fight. When I say that, I mean at what we think his level is, and what we think he's capable of."
Gable Steveson, an Olympic gold medalist and two-time NCAA champion, will make his highly anticipated UFC debut at UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas. His opponent has not yet been announced. UFC CEO Dana White emphasized the importance of finding an appropriate opponent for Steveson, acknowledging the unique challenges of competing in the UFC. Steveson is currently 3-0 in MMA, finishing all his fights in the first round. He will also headline an event against Alexander Romanov on May 30 before his UFC debut.
