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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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,<\/a> Ellison is currently a 9-to-1 underdog.<\/p>\n Check out the UFC 329 live blog for Gable Steveson vs. Elisha Ellison below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is the UFC 329 live blog for Gable Steveson vs. Elisha Ellison, the preliminary card heavyweight bout…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":794443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,1347,785,85,787,1396],"class_list":["post-794442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-latest-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=794442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/794443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=794442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=794442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=794442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
