Gable Steveson believes he can be an apt representative for the United States when the Ultimate Fighting Championship heads to the Washington, D.C.

The UFC will host a card at the White House on President Donald Trump’s birthday, June 16, 2026. Steveson (1-0) isn’t shutting down the idea of making his UFC debut at the White House. Steveson believes he can be a worthy face for the U.S., considering his Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the Tokyo Games in 2020.

“I think it’ll be a great thing to have an Olympic champion and USA wrestling’s finest [on the White House card],” Steveson told MMA Junkie.
