Gable and Blaze
Gable shares a common goal of creating meaningful change within our communities. In the summer of 2023, Gable and Blaze partnered to collect new shoes and clothing for patients at Regions Hospital. With donations being accepted at all Blaze locations, this campaign resulted in hundreds of basic clothing items being provided to patients in crisis.
Gable has also starred in several Blaze member testimonial commercials and made appearances supporting Blaze non-profit partners.

Gable Steveson
Gable Steveson has made one thing clear throughout his decorated athletic career; whatever might come his way, whether a decorated wrestling career, the UFC, or giving back to the community around him, he goes for it. Often recognized for his impressive accomplishments, his talents are matched by his commitment to bettering lives.
Gable began his competitive wrestling career at Apple Valley High School where he achieved multiple state titles. As the top recruit, he remained local and continued his career as a Gopher at the University of Minnesota where he earned two NCAA championships and four Big Ten titles, most recently in 2025. He has the highest win percentage in the history of the program and is the only five-time All-American Gopher Wrestler. In 2022, Gable took home his second Dan Hodge Trophy, a national award that honors the top collegiate wrestler annually.
In the summer of 2021, Gable won gold at the Tokyo Olympics in the men’s freestyle 125-kilogram class. Upon winning the Championship match in a dramatic fashion with a last-second takedown, he celebrated his victory with his signature move—a backflip.
After the ultimate achievement in his wrestling career, Gable has entered the world of mixed martial arts, joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship and beginning his UFC career undefeated with a first round victory.
