Gable Steveson (3-0) defeated Hugo Lezama (11-4) via TKO at 3:50 of the first round at the Showcenter Complex in Monterrey, Mexico. Steveson utilized heavy ground and pound after walking through Lezama's strikes.
With Jon Jones in his corner, Steveson looks poised for a UFC debut. He has finished all three of his professional MMA fights in the first round, fueling speculation about a potential appearance at the UFC White House event in June.
