Gable Steveson’s road to the UFC is taking a slight detour.
Earlier this month, the Olympic gold medalist established himself as a blue-chip prospect in the world of mixed martial arts with a first-round finish over Braden Peterson at LFA 217.
Now, Steveson is set to give Dirty Boxing a shot.
As announced via the promotion’s official Instagram account on Wednesday, the freestyle wrestling sensation will face Billy Swanson in the Dirty Boxing 4 headliner scheduled for Thursday, October 30, in Nashville.
In the years since his gold-medal-winning performance at the Tokyo Games in 2020, Steveson has pursued a variety of ventures, including short stints with the NFL and WWE.
