Gable Steveson celebrates with UFC legend Jon Jones after viral 13-second KO
It may not have been in MMA, but Gable Steveson did add another finish to his combat sports highlight reel in his latest fight.
www.si.comHere’s the latest I can share about Gable Steveson’s records and recent activity.
- Pro MMA record progress: As of late 2025, Steveson had moved to 2-0 as a professional with two first-round finishes in MMA, including a 24-second main-event KO in APFC 21 and a 17–to 24-second knockout in his LFA debut in 2025. These rapid finishes have kept him on the radar for UFC consideration.[1][4][6]
- Notable context: His early pro career is highlighted by back-to-back first-round wins, with the longer gap from his first bout explained by a combination of exhibition-style appearances and non-official bouts in some promotions, which are not counted on his official record.[4][1]
- UFC speculation: Following multiple fast finishes and public comments about pursuing the UFC, analysts and insiders have continued to anticipate a potential move to the UFC once he builds a broader resume and secures clearer promotional alignment.[6][1][4]
If you want, I can consolidate these into a brief timeline or pull the very latest articles to confirm any updates beyond late 2025. Would you like me to do that?
