Gable Steveson discusses his MMA development
“I would love to become a champion, and I know I have what it takes. Right now, do I have what it takes? Most definitely not. But I’m humble enough to say that. There’s no ego on my head that would put me in steps I’m not ready for.”
“This is just step one of getting ready for something that’s going to be a lot greater than this. And I know that time will come very fast.”
“It does wonders to my development, you know, but a lot of it is being all ears. You got to be all ears and have the head to be ready to learn and be able to go out there and be with guys like Jon Jones and Greg Jackson and Brandon Gibson.”
“It’s no egos, it’s no balloon heads, it’s everybody on the same page when it’s time to show up, man. We’re all ready to go and we’re humble enough to be around greatness.”
“Anytime I get to be with Jon Jones or get to train with him, I’m just honored. If he can step in that corner, we’ll make it as big as possible.”
