Gable Steveson: Rising Star Shines Bright at UFC 329

Because the Paddy Pimlett what happened to Paddy and his choke out was unbelievable He in the first round was amazing and that's really the story that I think everyone's coming away after this Is it okay? There's a new face if not the face but a new face of the UFC for Paddy Pimlett And let's see what Paddy the baddie can do. He had a huge pop from that I mean he tons of people social media wise, you know, who he is then or before the fight You know about it afterwards Gable Stevenson is the guy that everybody should be talking about today. Okay, forget Conor and Max forget Paddy Gable Stevenson can punch and if that guy Starts to get really good on the feet they're talking about a world-class top-of-the-heap wrestler at the heavyweight division an Olympic champion a two-time national champion He's gonna maul people Like that guy is on the fast track to become the heavyweight champion of the world in the UFC with John Jones as his coach Look out Okay, look out that guy is the future of the UFC. We saw it on Saturday night That's gonna be amazing I I can't wait to see where he goes and how good he gets and what the level of opponent I thought the guy that they fed to him was not Not anything all that exciting like I wasn't really impressed with the opponent But I was just impressed with the technique for Gable Stevenson. He took a punch. I was like, okay took a punch. That's good So now we'll start to see it We've seen this in the past with NFL players or guys like Brock Lesnar We've seen guys who have big wrestling backgrounds heavyweights come in and they have hit a certain level and then they've sort of plateaued Let's see what Gable Stevenson looked like, but those are your two big storylines coming out of UFC 329 Connor look it's all in the rearview. It's all what was okay. It's not what's going to be It's all what was and what was was incredible and I don't want to sully any of it I don't want to forget any of it. I want to appreciate all of it, but it's over for Conor McGregor. It's it's over There's nothing left besides exhibition fights and things that don't really matter from a UFC perspective but for the other fights There's some there's some pretty cool storylines coming out of this that I think it's gonna be really fun to see Surgery is expected by the way this week and they'll find out exactly what Connors dealing with whether it be an ACL and MCL How long he's going to be out, but he's gonna be out he's gonna be out for a significant amount of time and that's just that's just the way it's gonna be and The UFC will move on and it's time for them to focus on other things. That was fun. The lead-up was fun It was a throwback to what once was But I don't need to see Conor fight in the in the octagon one more time If I'm if I'm the UFC if I'm Dana White I'm talking about a monster boxing fight for Conor for that last contract under the company and Have him fight for Zufa boxing and go do that and then that's what he trains for Keep him out of the octagon the last two times. We've seen him in the octagon. It's ended poorly and I get it He walked out. You did not want to take a stretcher or crutches He wanted to walk out of that no matter how you know He must have been in so much pain walking out of that arena and walking out of the octagon But that's what he wanted to do He did not want to be that same image of him being wheeled out like it was after Poirier He did not want that to happen. So Best wishes for Conor. Hopefully he recovers quickly But that whole thing just stunk
