This is the UFC 329 live blog for Gable Steveson vs. Elisha Ellison, the preliminary card heavyweight bout Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Steveson (3-0) is one of the most highly touted prospects in recent memory. The 26-year-old had a sterling international and collegiate wrestling career, winning gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and a pair of NCAA Division-I championships. After dabbling in professional football and professional wrestling, Steveson shifted his focus back to competitive
combat sports. As a pro fighter, Steveson has won three MMA fights and a Dirty Boxing match, with none of his opponents making it out of the first round, and he recently returned to the mats at an RAF event where he earned a dominant tech fall victory over former UFC fighter Alexandr Romanov.
One of the biggest underdogs in UFC history, Ellison (5-2) enters the octagon Saturday with nothing to lose. His UFC debut this past September lasted less than two minutes as he was on the wrong end of a knockout at the hands of Brando Pericic. On FanDuel, Ellison is currently a 9-to-1 underdog.
