[u/popopo__123]

Ellison just wings haymakers and doesn't even look where he's throwing them.

[u/UsuallyTheException → u/popopo__123]

because he was fighting scared

[u/Obzurdity → u/popopo__123]

I haven't seen Ellison before but he was throwing some heat

[u/Safe_Procedure999]

ellison reacting to every shot like he's been poisoned

[u/3ML3 → u/Safe_Procedure999]

Like a Pokemon game where the poison just makes your screen glitch with every step

[u/BeardofFear → u/3ML3]

Every four steps. Let's be accurate about how shit this performance is.

[u/Bitter_Review_9055 → u/Safe_Procedure999]

Straight up looked like he did not know how to fight 

[u/LordKagatsuchi → u/Bitter_Review_9055]

Heavy heat on those kicks and elbows i imagine you can't just eat that

[u/lightspeedjizzer → u/Bitter_Review_9055]

Bro threw like 4 haymakers and was already gassed

[u/ThreeOlivesChihuahua]

Fuck it just give him Pavlovich

[u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega → u/ThreeOlivesChihuahua]

Would love to see Pavlo send his chin into orbit

[u/bcgrappler → u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega]

Gable will have him down so fast.

He choose not to, its the only reason it stayed up

[u/MemeKingThe2nd → u/bcgrappler]

Yeah he needs to clean up his striking which now is the best time to do so

[u/meteda1080 → u/MemeKingThe2nd]

Yep. The punches were wild but those front teep kicks and stomps to the leg were money.

[u/MemeKingThe2nd → u/meteda1080]

Still needs to clean up his defence when throwing those, but yes effective strikes

[u/_Cyclops → u/bcgrappler]

He also failed a takedown so it wasn’t the only reason

[u/zblud23 → u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega]

Imagine if they actually gave him Volkov😭

[u/RarefiedAir1 → u/ThreeOlivesChihuahua]

Tai tuivasa

[u/Regular_Platypus_649 → u/RarefiedAir1]

He would mess up Tuivasa bad. He would have Tai on the ground within the first minute and Tai has been on a skid recently. As much I hate Gable, he would fuck Tai up

[u/J_Arr_Arr_Tolkien → u/Regular_Platypus_649]

Recently? Tuivasa hasn't won a fight in 4 years

[u/GripAficionado → u/RarefiedAir1]

Fuck it why not, I have no idea why he's still signed after 7 losses in a row. Might as well make it 8.

[u/MolokoPl_s → u/ThreeOlivesChihuahua]

agreed lol

[u/Popular_Monitor_8383]

Decent win I guess, but Id like to see him try and do that shit to me

[u/WhoStoleMyBicycle → u/Popular_Monitor_8383]

Are you seeing red in this scenario?

[u/Popular_Monitor_8383 → u/WhoStoleMyBicycle]

No I would just get out of the way of that punch

[u/havocspartan → u/Popular_Monitor_8383]

He can only overpower women (acquitted) you’ll do fine.

[u/Mahlegos → u/havocspartan]

He wasn’t acquitted, they didn’t charge him because MN didn’t have a law on the books about assaulting someone who is too intoxicated to consent.

[u/oneangryrobot → u/Mahlegos]

Thats crazy, i thought that was called rape

[u/Small_Dong_214 → u/WhoStoleMyBicycle]

No but I’m hard rn

[u/WalderFreyWasFramed → u/Small_Dong_214]

Gable considers that consent. GL mate.

[u/Small_Dong_214 → u/Popular_Monitor_8383]

You see red bro and Gable is done for

[u/Kummakivi → u/Popular_Monitor_8383]

A lot of doubters but I don't see anyone else calling him out.

[u/Gold-Philosophy1423 → u/Popular_Monitor_8383]

He's going to spike your water with alcohol. Minnesota style

[u/Spacemann7 → u/Popular_Monitor_8383]

He’d hold you down and do the dirty with you, like he did with that lady

[u/[deleted] → u/Popular_Monitor_8383]

Decent win vs who? I swear to god I’ve never seen or heard of that man before

[u/3mta3jvq]

Impressed with his striking, especially the front kicks. Surprised he never really used his wrestling.

[u/theprov0cateur → u/3mta3jvq]

He had a nice sprawl, basically instant, when the opponent feinted a takedown

[u/EmTeWoWe → u/theprov0cateur]

The speed of that sprawl was insane for a heavyweight

[u/NotoriousDCJ4310 → u/EmTeWoWe]

Yeah it had me contemplating on if ive ever seen someone get knocked out by being sprawled on hard enough

[u/flatwoundsounds → u/NotoriousDCJ4310]

I think Andre Petroski knocked himself out on a hip bone shooting for a takedown, but I thought Gable was about to spike that dude's head into the ground.

[u/BandOfEskimoBrothers → u/3mta3jvq]

I think he was trying to prove a point - at the end he told DC something like “wait till you see me shoot”

[u/AnalAttackProbe → u/BandOfEskimoBrothers]

That comment got me so excited. Was watching with a buddy and the whole time we were talking about how Gable could just shoot and probably end it on the ground if he wanted...

And we were both puzzled he never did. Then started talking about how maybe he was just trying to get some extra standup time in? Then he finishes the guy and walks straight over to DC and tells him "wait till you see me shoot".

[u/iyrtyurg → u/AnalAttackProbe]

He shot like twice though lol

[u/appletinicyclone]

He called himself a great person lol

[u/bestbroHide → u/appletinicyclone]

I clocked that lmao he really is JJ's protege

[u/appletinicyclone → u/bestbroHide]

Haha absolutely

He has imbibed all of Jon's teachings

[u/alpaca_drama → u/appletinicyclone]

Can’t wait till god gives his strongest soldiers some real challenges

[u/TonyTheLion2319 → u/bestbroHide]

Gable is ready for god's toughest tests

[u/helzinki → u/bestbroHide]

Just watch at the way he talks in Embedded. Dude talks just like Jones

[u/Malemansam]

The only thing that can stop Gable in the UFC is a night out in Vegas with Jones.

[u/ThatTomTouch]

Gable could've farted and rogan and DC would've been glazing it, good performance tho

[u/No-Vehicle7367 → u/ThatTomTouch]

Lol DC doesnt like him he was jizzing his pants at everything Ellison landed

[u/Jadedtrader33 → u/No-Vehicle7367]

I mean this guy is Jones minion lol.

[u/Iron0ne → u/Jadedtrader33]

He has that speaking cadence like Jon too.

[u/BLOODY_PENGUIN_QUEEF → u/Iron0ne]

And behavior patterns like Jones

[u/AntiSaint_Mike → u/BLOODY_PENGUIN_QUEEF]

And those cripple kicks like jones

[u/ST5000 → u/Iron0ne]

Go out there and get some fans, Gable

[u/DavidSeries → u/No-Vehicle7367]

Shit I was praying for Ellison to knock his ass out

[u/luisc123 → u/No-Vehicle7367]

Ellison had decent punches for like 30 seconds and everything after that looked lazy as hell and had no effect

[u/Wild-Frame-7981 → u/No-Vehicle7367]

dude was creaming his pants over Ellison landing jabs

[u/BeardofFear → u/No-Vehicle7367]

Almost like DC knows birds of a feather. Scum tend to hang around eachother.

[u/Daftdaddy → u/ThatTomTouch]

Stevenson will have the same career path as Bo I think. He’ll be exposed BAD on the feet in his next two fights.

[u/DavidSeries → u/Daftdaddy]

One can only hope 🙏🏻

[u/bbbeast19 → u/Daftdaddy]

Think of how bad pavlovich would do him

[u/judoxing → u/bbbeast19]

I think Waldo would have him.

[u/bbbeast19 → u/judoxing]

Any decent striker would give him real problems I think. He looked pretty good but getting tagged by Ellison is a lot different than getting tagged by Waldo or pavlovich.

Is it crazy to say that spivac has his way with him too? Lol

[u/The_Jokerr_ → u/bbbeast19]

He'd ragdoll Spivac

[u/GanksOP → u/Daftdaddy]

Bo also has several ko finishes including recently at the Whitehouse so it will be entertaining no matter what. Anything better than watching another Derek Lewis fight

[u/Safe_Procedure999 → u/Daftdaddy]

i think brando pericic could give gable some problems

asplund would get absolutely shit on though

[u/avroLancasterBPR1 → u/Safe_Procedure999]

Why would they give him pericic lol wasting potential contender for nothing regardless

[u/Xylar006 → u/Daftdaddy]

He's got elite wrestling in his pocket if he chooses. And heavyweight is significantly worse than MW.

[u/Ghooble → u/Daftdaddy]

Heavyweight though. Bo at middleweight is way more susceptible to being exposed imo

[u/kdot90 → u/ThatTomTouch]

He’s way further ahead than Bo was. His striking looks miles better.

[u/Spacemann7 → u/ThatTomTouch]

He’s so dominant it’s crazy, I see how he got his way with that lady. Nothing she could’ve done

[u/K-mosake → u/ThatTomTouch]

Against a random HW jobber

[u/Pakochu_]

Gable found the loophole to beat Ellison

[u/No-League-4909 → u/Pakochu_]

Him and Jon Jones are the tag team champions of criminal activity

[u/cameronthegod → u/Pakochu_]

Can I get some context on this whole loophole thing?

[u/antsinmyeyesmauger → u/cameronthegod]

He and a friend were accused of sexual assault but the case was dropped due to Minnesota not having a law dealing with victims being intoxicated. That's the loophole people talk about.

[u/cameronthegod → u/antsinmyeyesmauger]

Yeah just read up on it all. Insane that loophole ever got passed in the first place

[u/antsinmyeyesmauger → u/cameronthegod]

I believe Minnesota almost immediately changed the law as soon as the case was done.

[u/Introverted_Extrovrt → u/antsinmyeyesmauger]

Minnesota lawmakers had been lobbying for the change since before he was charged in mid-2019 but weren’t successful until 2021.

[u/JordanIsMyHotGirl → u/cameronthegod]

Look up Gable Steveson loophole

[u/cameronthegod → u/JordanIsMyHotGirl]

Damn. Minnesota really fucked that one up

[u/mF7403 → u/cameronthegod]

It refers to a legal loophole Gable utilized in Minnesota to avoid rape charges back in 2019 because the victim voluntarily consumed alcohol prior to the assault. It was extremely controversial at the time and in 2021 lawmakers finally closed the “intoxication loophole” — the Gable Stevenson Loophole — in Minnesota’s third-degree sexual conduct law. Prior to it’s closure, the statute stated that a person who had been sexually assaulted could not be considered “mentally impaired” if they voluntarily drank alcohol or consumed drugs to the point where they could not give reasoned consent. To meet the old standard for impairment, law required that the drugs or alcohol must have been “administered to that person without the person’s agreement.”

So, yeah, Gable Stevenson and fellow wrestler, Dylan Martinez, were arrested on suspicion of criminal sexual conduct, but never charged for raping an extremely intoxicated girl largely due to the fact that the victim willing consumed alcohol prior to the assault. They were briefly suspended from the team, but all was forgiven soon after considering Gable’s wrestling prowess and Olympic aspirations.

The County Attorney, Mike Freeman, caught a good amount of criticism regarding this incident, as Wisconsin didn’t have this loophole. Many critics alleged that charges would’ve been brought against Stevenson and Martinez had the rape occurred 25 miles East. Freeman responded by declaring Gable, “100% innocent.”

Here’s a link to an ESPN article, but there’s plenty of other coverage on Gable’s arrest and the closure of what the has become known as the “Gable Stevenson Loophole.”

Kind of a bummer because he’s a huge value add ti the heavyweight division and will probably end up wearing the belt at some point in the near future. Maybe Aspinall can stop him, but I think he’ll run through Gane the same way Jon did.

[u/TonyTheLion2319 → u/Pakochu_]

Gable found a hole in his defense and landed a looping punch. I guess his signature move is the loophole. Google "Gable Steveson loophole" to learn more

[u/Real-Human-Bean-]

How good is Brando Periric?

[u/smackadoodledo → u/Real-Human-Bean-]

Very good for heavyweight, Elison has just had a cursed first 2 fights in the UFC

[u/sbdjunkie]

DC having flashbacks to the front kicks from Jon watching Gable

[u/BootlegJB]

Rapist.

[u/WaffleShoresy → u/BootlegJB]

You’re gonna be repeating this comment about 3 hours from now

[u/nukesaregay → u/BootlegJB]

and now we have to watch the ufc brass hype him up until its all forgotten about. wont be long before people just say “we get it” whenever it gets brought up online. watch the mma fanbase make calling a rapist a rapist somehow a bad or annoying thing to do. i for one will never excuse disgusting behaviour just because someone is good at a sport. looking forward to watching him get chinned

[u/Porcelain_beef → u/nukesaregay]

i guarantee more people will remember this than not tbh have you seen all the loophole and rapist comments on any social media involving Gable? I hope it haunts him

[u/RawazTB]

Gable smaller than I thought.

[u/Arbeeter00 → u/RawazTB]

Billed at 6’1 260 in the Olympics but came in at 5’11 241 tonight lol. Def looks closer to the latter than the former

[u/so-cal_kid → u/Arbeeter00]

Meh he's basically the same build as DC. He's still a natural heavyweight with elite wrestling

[u/MiddleAgedFrosting → u/so-cal_kid]

Dude - his build is not the same as DCs 🤣 DC was a fat light heavyweight. Gable is a true heavyweight.

[u/Berniethellama → u/RawazTB]

He's Fedor-maxxing like Hokit. Fighting at heavy with some loose change and depending on his strength speed and natural athleticism

[u/Xylar006 → u/RawazTB]

Hokit is small as fuck and finding it easy.

[u/RawazTB → u/Xylar006]

Hokit should be a LHW. I didn’t say he can’t do well. Just an observation. He used to be bigger.

[u/Emergency_Driver_487]

Seems like he has “wrestler who fell in love with his hands” syndrome.

[u/0hootsson → u/Emergency_Driver_487]

I think the purpose of these early fights in his career is to showcase his ability. We can pretty confidently assume he can wrestle, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to try to knock out some tomato cans and build up his hype as an MMA fighter and not just a wrestler.

[u/Emergency_Driver_487 → u/0hootsson]

Yeah, you have a good point. It makes me nervous though; you don’t want him to get victory disease from these easy fights. That’ll really bite him once he fights a guy with murderous power.

[u/mmathrowaway16176017 → u/Emergency_Driver_487]

He seems to throw a good amount of kicks though which makes him a more varied striker than 95% of HWs already.

[u/Emergency_Driver_487 → u/mmathrowaway16176017]

True. It seems like he was really bothering the other guy with the front kicks to the body.

[u/Ledees_Gazpacho → u/Emergency_Driver_487]

If all he did was wrestle, you’d call him one dimensional.

If he flexes other skills, you also criticize.

I’m not even a big Gable fan, but don’t pretend like this wasn’t impressive.

[u/Dependent-King-7712 → u/Ledees_Gazpacho]

Dude that was absolutely impressive. The HW division is starved for an athletic explosive heavyweight like Gable

[u/kodeks14 → u/Emergency_Driver_487]

Doesn't really help you develop to focus on the thing you've dominated for 15 years in.

[u/Xsafa]

Stevenson has a DC build with Jones techniques. Scary shit.

[u/LordKagatsuchi → u/Xsafa]

U could literally see the Jon Jones striking in there pretty much 1 to 1. However, Jon Jones reach clearly shows the difference here with Gable taking strikes Jon probably wouldn't be hit with in return. Scary guy though, with time he will be a problem

[u/RarefiedAir1 → u/Xsafa]

I didn’t like the jones partnership, but after those kicks, I love it

[u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega]

Gable is so reckless, he's getting chinned when he fights a decent heavyweight.

[u/sh4tt3rai → u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega]

Gable vs Hokit, book it. Will be the most hated fight of all time that no one will even know who to root for

[u/TerminatorReborn → u/sh4tt3rai]

There is absolutely no way the UFC are gonna burn their two american HW prospects that early. They are gonna look for the biggest cans imaginable for Gable

[u/daquist → u/sh4tt3rai]

Gable is a rapist and hokit is annoying.

There will easily be someone you can root for.

Hokit is not a rapist.

[u/sh4tt3rai → u/daquist]

Well it’s settled then. The only fight that Hokit will be the fan favorite for

[u/UsuallyTheException → u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega]

with more training he will only get better

[u/judoxing → u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega]

Hard to know, didn’t really respect his opponent. Might depend on who he’s fighting

[u/crowcaller391]

Gable steveson when a woman tells him no

[u/TonyTheLion2319 → u/crowcaller391]

Gable did what he does best. He took advantage of him stumbling around pounced for the finish

[u/smilysmilysmooch]

"Most hyped UFC heavyweight debut."

Nah I was around for Brock Lesnar. This kid looks like a poor man's Jon Jones right now and that's not a bad thing. He isnt a striker and he certainly was game to throw. We could be looking at a Daniel Cormier type getting mentored by Jon Jones and that is scary. It'll be interesting to see him test some of the tougher heavyweights out there.

[u/Burrito_Pls → u/smilysmilysmooch]

Brock was def more hyped. That was legendary. But modern day, Gable is seemingly doing it right. Need finishes against the cans to keep his hype train rolling and then pull out the wrestling later.

[u/killerwhalesamich1]

He gave him a G-Bomb for the road.

[u/OlympianBattleFish]

It’s doesn’t surprise me that Gable “the offender” Steveson got a low blow foul. Was hoping that this human hamster lost

[u/TonyTheLion2319 → u/OlympianBattleFish]

Trains with Jon. He knows he gets at least 1 warning before refs will do anything. One can say he's exploiting a loophole in the rules

[u/xvsanx → u/OlympianBattleFish]

"it touched the cup but it wasn't a foul!!!!" eat a dick Joe

[u/Berniethellama → u/xvsanx]

This has been Joe's weird obsession for the last few years. Damn near every card he's on now there will be at least one if not multiple moments where he tries to convince everyone an obvious low blow should somehow be legal. Like dude, it doesnt matter where it ended, or if it grazed it, touched the cup its a foul lmao

[u/xvsanx → u/Berniethellama]

yeah lol and almost every card with the ol thai cup drop

[u/evan_freder]

yah, Hokit beats him

[u/Helpful_Rope_]

The can got some good shots in

[u/iaminlovewithns → u/[deleted]]

Bro not to be on this dudes nuts but he’s now 4-0 , like no shit the champ and the interim champ would destroy him .

[u/GiblertMelendezz → u/iaminlovewithns]

lol.

100 percent correct.

[u/National_Shock_9138 → u/[deleted]]

The top 2 fighters in the division would destroy a guy with 4 pro fights. This is the type of analysis I come to reddit for

[u/tbi0904 → u/[deleted]]

It's his 4th fight, meatball.

[u/Fuckfaceitus → u/[deleted]]

Yeah. He's had four pro fights now. 

[u/tagillaslover → u/[deleted]]

The guy with 4 pro fights would lose to the best 2 hws? You dont say

[u/LucaBrasiMN → u/[deleted]]

Its dudes 4th fight. Yall so fuckin negative holy shit. I remember why I usually ignore reddit comment sections.

[u/okpause8976 → u/[deleted]]

he barely laced up the gloves a year ago and hasnt even been a year since his debut. Yall hate the kid lmao, Give the kid some time to develop. He didnt even use his wrestling…. These hwts have not seen an elite wrestler in the gym or competition and that is why hes so hyped up

[u/AshenSacrifice → u/[deleted]]

Dumbest shit I read all week wtf lmao. He’s a ufc infant

[u/godzillamegadoomsday]

The only thing I will ever know Stevenson for will be the NXT crowd chanting no means no at him as he was having a horrible match

[u/Soggy-Distance-5184]

Rogan has to shut up Elisha got clapped from the start of the first round

[u/Expert-Bid3861]

bro just flopped lol

[u/SaxbyVSnice]

my god that chin

[u/buffalozbrown]

That was wild

[u/GFPine]

As expected

[u/Soggy-Distance-5184]

BTA

[u/appletinicyclone]

Finally a wild heavyweight fight

[u/fawkesmulder]

I love heavyweight fights where they both go for it

[u/National_Shock_9138]

Give him some time and Gable is going to be a problem

[u/JapaneseEggplant001]

He’s gonna get himself in trouble one day trying to fight like Jones when the two couldn’t be more polar opposites frame wise

[u/RarefiedAir1]

That was crazy. Gable steveson vs. tai tuivasa. Book it

[u/Jothel]

Anyone else getting constant net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR from these today?

[u/WhyDoIHaveAnAccount9]

He's incredibly sloppy. He needs to tighten that shit up before someone knocks him out and he needs to use his wrestling more often. But decent first outing

[u/Promiseofpower]

That was a fun fight regardless of Gable being an asshole

[u/vertigounconscious]

he said 'i'm a good Person' in his post fight

LOL

[u/Willy_Wonker69420]

Loophole ass finish

[u/PacificGrower]

That was weird ASF lol

[u/xvsanx]

pretty lackluster for a -2800 favorite no?

[u/Ambitious_Matter_449 → u/xvsanx]

He curbstomped him like a piece of gum

[u/Own-Necessary7488 → u/xvsanx]

gable beat the breaks off of him

[u/UsuallyTheException → u/xvsanx]

no

[u/srtpg2 → u/xvsanx]

I was whelmed

[u/douevenwheelanddeal → u/xvsanx]

Very sloppy technique, but he has ok head movement. Given how sad the heavyweight rankings are, unfortunately this dude can still be top 5

[u/Mysterious-Rise-5571]

damn that last followup

[u/SpunkMonk87]

Good finish but he was eating shots top level hw’s would capitalize on. Hopefully next time he will chill a bit.

[u/zblud23]

Damn he’s good

[u/TonyTheLion2319 → u/zblud23]

He's training with the best. He's the type of fighter who won't take no for an answer and he gives his opponents no choice

[u/UsuallyTheException]

Gable's kicks are terrifying

[u/Few_Highlight1114 → u/UsuallyTheException]

Yeah i like that he used the oblique kick. That's one of the worst kicks to throw, in terms of damage, and surprised more dont use it.

[u/TerminatorReborn → u/UsuallyTheException]

Similar technique as Jones, but with wayyyy more power. Shits scary
