UFC President Dana White had previously expressed his desire to sign Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson. It seems that he never made an effort to meet with Gable Steveson in Las Vegas. It has been also been noted that Gable met with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and made an appearance at SummerSlam, indicating a good relationship with the company, and not UFC.
He also recently said in an interview with Ariel Helwani that White has his number and if he wants he can reach out to him. Sting & Shaq Huge AEW Matches Revealed?

Gable Steveson could sign with WWE
Olympic gold medalists Tamyra Mensah-Stock and Gable Steveson made an appearance at SummerSlam. The two were recognized by the WWE Universe for their recent achievements at the Tokyo Olympics. Mensah-Stock and Steveson both made their way down the aisle and into the ring for a quick celebration.
Mensah-Stock has previously said she’s interested in becoming a WWE Superstar. For Steveson, he’s teased a move to WWE for a while but is also considering going to the UFC and even the NFL. Steveson had also posted a picture on Twitter which saw himself with Vince.
