Gable Steveson explains confidence ahead of UFC 329 debut

Steveson believes he could dominate any sport he undertakes.
Already 3-0 in MMA, he is high in confidence heading into his UFC
debut, which is reflected in his recent comments.

“I think it’s a huge way to go out there and have people say, ‘Man,
he could be the next big thing,’” Steveson said in a recent
interview. “But I think when you believe that you can be the next
big thing, that is a different story. Because other people say,
‘You can be,’ but you already know that you will be.”

“So, I believe I can be the best at anything,” he continued,
reiterating his belief that he can become world class in whatever
sport he takes on. “I can play baseball, I can play soccer, I can
go out there and play cricket, I can do anything I probably ever
wanted. So, that’s my mindset.”

Steveson will step into the Octagon as a massive betting favorite
against Ellison. Beyond his wrestling pedigree, the Olympian is
leaving no stone unturned as he looks to make a name for himself in
MMA, having added Jon Jones to
the team behind him.
