Target of desire for most MMA organizations, Gable Steveson surprised by signing with the WWE pro-wresling.

“I expected Dana to have come in much stronger (to sign me) and that he would pick up the pace a little more. I would love to fight there. I'm not afraid to fight. I'm not afraid of getting punched or going out there and winning and losing in front of a big crowd. It doesn't matter to me. I go there to entertain people and to do something I love. I mean, I love wrestling and I love WWE. I love them both,” Steveson said.
Asked about a possible move to Ultimate in the future, the wrestler also said that he is satisfied with his agreement with WWE, despite having expected even greater action from Dana White.
“I wish he (Dana White) had put more pressure on me to follow this path, but that time is over for now. I'm 100 percent with (WWE Chairman) Vince McMahon and this team. I’m excited to be where I am”, added the athlete.
The success with the telecatch, however, does not prevent Gable from making the move to mixed martial arts in the future. In history, including athletes like Mark Coleman, Dan Henderson, Ronda Rousey, Daniel Cormier e Henry Cejudo They have also competed at a high level in Wrestling and, later, opted for MMA afterwards.
