- Steveson is unbeaten with three ultra-fast stoppages since September, including two MMA knockouts and a 25‑second finish of Kevin Hein at APFC.
- After a 13‑second Dirty Boxing win over Billy Swanson at DBX 4, Steveson addressed Mick Maynard cageside and asked for a UFC deal.
- Steveson outlined a 2026 plan to take one or two more fights, sign with the UFC, and debut on June 14 at the Washington, D.C., White House event.
