Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson may be undecided about his combat sports future, but that hasn’t stopped oddsmakers from peering into their own crystal balls.
Steveson, the 21-year-old wrestler who captured gold with a stunning comeback at the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo, told MMA Fighting this week that a transition to mixed martial arts is one of the many options he’s entertaining following his championship run. Steveson also sent a tweet to UFC president Dana White with a hand-waving emoji. Now, online sportsbook Bovada has opened a slew of futures betting lines for potential matchups between Steveson and the elite of the UFC’s heavyweight ranks.
