Gable Steveson, renowned for his wrestling successes – including an Olympic gold medal – expressed his openness to testing his grappling skills against none other than Gordon Ryan and Nicky Rodriguez!
It was during a recent appearance on the “Jaxxon Podcast” alongside Quinton Jackson and Laura Sanko that Steveson entertained the idea of facing off against Ryan and Rodriguez in grappling matches.
Despite his limited experience in Jiu-Jitsu, Steveson was excited and more than willing to learn:
I mean, any guy would do it.
[I don’t know Jiu-Jitsu], but I’ll get it.
I mean, what’s the problem with that?
Gordon Ryan had already previously engaged in a mixed-rules bout against wrestler Pat Downey; displaying the crossover appeal between wrestling and submission grappling.
Steveson has won multiple Big Ten Conference titles and has been recognized as the Big Ten Wrestler of the Year.
Furthermore, even though there was a brief period when the fight community thought that he’d sign with the UFC, Steveson opted for the WWE instead – with which he continues to be signed till this day.
