Overview
- Multiple outlets corroborated a Connected MMA Instagram report on Friday that Steveson is being lined up to face Terrance Chatman at UFC 336, but the UFC has not officially announced the fight.
- UFC 336 is scheduled for January 30, 2027, at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto with preliminary fights listed to start at 7 p.m. ET and the main card at 9 p.m. ET.
- Steveson suffered the first loss of his professional MMA career when Sean Sharaf knocked him out in 12 seconds at UFC 331 on Sept. 19, 2026, which has made his next outing a key test of his recovery and approach.
- Chatman is winless in the UFC after a first-round submission loss to Anthony Wint in his promotional debut in August, and he would enter the reported matchup seeking his first UFC victory.
- If the pairing is finalized, it would likely serve as a quick bounce-back for Steveson and raise questions to monitor such as medical clearance, official UFC confirmation, and where the bout will sit on the Jan. 30 card.
