Gable Steveson is fresh off his dominant MMA debut, but he still has Brock Lesnar on his mind.
During an interview with Ariel Helwani, the Olympic gold medalist and former WWE star admitted that Brock remains a major influence in his career.
When asked if he heard from Lesnar recently, Steveson revealed the Beast Incarnate reached out following his WWE comeback at SummerSlam.
“I heard from Brock after his crazy, surprising WWE return at SummerSlam. Man, the crowd goes crazy for him. They love him. Whenever I see him, it’s just a rush of like, wow, that’s my favorite athlete. But that’s about all.”
The conversation then turned to whether Steveson would consider training with Lesnar as he continues his MMA journey.
“Man, I don’t know. I mean, if Brock would like to. Brock would be a great person to learn from, of course.”
Steveson went on to explain that even as a kid, Lesnar was larger than life to him, both in WWE and in the UFC.
“Pretty young, man. Brock was the beast when I was there. Just seeing him and kind of seeing him in person and just seeing the model that he’s created for a lot of athletes is crazy. So, man, truly one of a kind.”
Steveson’s admiration for Brock is clear, and with his own career now shifting toward MMA full-time, fans are already speculating whether the two could ever train together and possibly create another crossover success story.
Gable Steveson may be carving out his own path, but having Brock Lesnar in his corner—or even just in his orbit—could change everything about how far he goes in combat sports.
