Gable Steveson is back — and Chael Sonnen believes we're watching an athlete unlike almost anyone he's ever seen.
Steveson's weight is reportedly down to 242 pounds, a significant change for someone who was a massive athlete throughout his youth and college wrestling career.
Chael compares Gable's physical gifts to elite combat athletes like Jon Jones and Jordan Burroughs, pointing out just how unusual Steveson's combination of athleticism, size, and explosiveness really is.
But that's only part of the conversation.
Chael also breaks down an incredible moment between Henry Cejudo and Merab Dvalishvili, where Cejudo defended against Merab's attacks before finding the opening that ended the match.
It raises a bigger question:
Do we need Henry Cejudo vs. Merab 3?
Or should these two settle their rivalry in wrestling?
Chael explains why he was impressed by Merab for putting himself in that situation — and why the possibility of another Cejudo-Merab matchup is so compelling.
