Gable Steveson looks to bounce back from his first UFC loss.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that the Olympic gold medalist is set to face Terrance Chatman at UFC 336, which takes place Jan. 30 in Toronto.
Connected MMA was first to report the matchup on Instagram.
Steveson stopped his first four opponents in the first round to start his MMA career, including a TKO victory over Elisha Ellison in his octagon debut at July’s UFC 329 event. In his most
recent bout, Steveson was knocked out by Sean Sharaf in just 12 seconds in one of the sport’s biggest upsets at UFC 331 in September.
Chatman makes his second UFC appearance and hopes for a better result after getting tapped by Anthony Wint at UFC Sacramento. The 29-year-old won five of his first six pro bouts, most of which took place for Fury FC.
UFC 336 is headlined by a flyweight title fight between Joshua Van and Manel Kape, while Carlos Prates and Michael Morales battle for the interim welterweight title in the co-main event.
