Gable Steveson is reportedly set to face Terrance Chatman in a heavyweight bout at UFC 336 on Saturday, January 30, 2027, at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The UFC has not announced the fight, so for now it is a report, not a confirmed booking.
What is reported
Connected MMA was the first to report the matchup, according to Heavy.com and Bloody Elbow. Heavy then wrote that sources confirmed to the outlet that the bout "is indeed in the works" for UFC 336. Bloody Elbow also covered the fight as reported, not official.
The card position is unknown. Heavy's Adam Martin writes that the fight could open the main card but is more likely to land on the preliminaries. That is the author's expectation, not information from the UFC.
The UFC 336 card so far
According to Heavy and Bloody Elbow, UFC 336 is headlined by flyweight champion Joshua Van against Manel Kape, which Bloody Elbow calls Van's third title defense. In the co-main event, Carlos Prates meets Michael Morales for the interim welterweight title, with champion Islam Makhachev out of action, Bloody Elbow reports. We have not found official start times for the event yet.
Steveson's return from a 12-second loss
Steveson, the Olympic freestyle wrestling gold medalist, is 4-1 as a pro according to our records, with all four wins by KO or TKO. His most recent win was a first-round TKO of Elisha Ellison at UFC 329 on July 11, 2026, at 2:31 of the round.
On September 19 at UFC 331 in Los Angeles, Sean Sharaf stopped him 12 seconds into the first round, ending his unbeaten pro record. Heavy called it one of the biggest upsets of all time in MMA. If the fight is made, Steveson would be back a little over four months after that loss.
Chatman looks for a first UFC win
Chatman is 5-2 as a pro, according to both Bloody Elbow and our database, and 0-1 in the UFC. He lost his debut by first-round submission (4:29) to Anthony Wint at UFC Sacramento on August 22, 2026. Bloody Elbow notes that Wint choked him unconscious just 11 days after earning his contract on Dana White's Contender Series.
Wint is now 9-0 and ranked No. 15 at heavyweight in the UFC, according to our data. He followed that win by stopping Lucas Armand 23 seconds into the first round at UFC 332 on October 3.
What comes next
The full UFC 336 lineup has not been released. Until the UFC or the fighters confirm it, Steveson vs. Chatman should be treated as a report that could still change.
