- Rogan called the heavyweight field “so shallow,” citing Tom Aspinall, Ciryl Gane, Jon Jones and possibly Francis Ngannou as the only championship-caliber hurdles.
- Steveson, 25, has two MMA knockouts and one Dirty Boxing knockout in under three total minutes, including a 25-second finish at Anthony Pettis FC.
- UFC interest has been reported but no deal is announced, with media noting matchmaker Mick Maynard attended Steveson’s DBX 4 performance.
