Steveson is regarded as one of the top prospects in all of MMA. The 25-year-old, who has worked extensively with former UFC two-division champion Jon Jones, is 3-0 in MMA bouts — finishing all of his opponents inside of a round. Prior to focusing on fighting, Steveson tried his hand at both professonal wrestling and the NFL.
Steveson last appeared at Mexico Fight League 3 on Feb. 19, where he stopped 15-bout veteran Hugo Lezama via technical knockout at the 3:50 mark of Round 1. Before he makes his first UFC foray, Steveson will headline Real American Freestyle 9 against Alexander Romanov on May 30 in Arlington, Texas.
UFC 329 takes place on July 11 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event does not have a headliner, but Conor McGregor’s return has been rumored for the event.
