Overview
- Dana White told The Jim Rome Show the UFC is keeping its eyes on Steveson and suggested he will eventually end up in the promotion.
- Steveson is 2-0 in professional combat outings with a first-round LFA TKO in roughly 98–99 seconds and a 13–15 second knockout at Dirty Boxing 4 last week.
- UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard attended the Dirty Boxing event, sat ringside for Steveson’s win, and was called out by Steveson in the post-fight moment.
- Steveson said he aims to secure additional fights in 2025, potentially returning in a few weeks with another LFA appearance, and there is no UFC contract announced.
- Jon Jones described a hands-on mentor and coach role that includes shared training resources, as Daniel Cormier praised Steveson’s upside while urging him to ignore certain off-mat examples.
