Gable Steveson Expresses Interest in Training with Daniel Cormier, Despite Past Rivalry with Jon Jones
Olympic wrestling champion Gable Steveson has indicated a strong interest in the possibility of training with former UFC double-champion Daniel Cormier. This comes as a noteworthy statement, given Cormier's well-documented and intense rivalry with Jon Jones, who is Steveson's mentor and close associate.
Steveson, who is currently transitioning to a career in professional wrestling with WWE, has openly shared his respect for Cormier's extensive experience and coaching abilities. Despite the historical animosity between Cormier and Jones, Steveson suggested that he would readily embrace the opportunity to learn from Cormier.
"I would love that," Steveson remarked when asked about the prospect of training with Cormier. He acknowledged the complex dynamics but emphasized his focus on personal growth and skill development. Steveson appears to prioritize gaining knowledge and improving his technique, even if it means crossing paths with individuals linked to his mentor's past adversaries.
This sentiment highlights Steveson's professional approach and his commitment to becoming a well-rounded athlete, willing to seek out expertise from various accomplished figures in the combat sports world.
