Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson has openly admitted his desire to train alongside UFC commentator and former two-division champion Daniel Cormier. This comes as a notable statement given Steveson's publicly declared loyalty and admiration for Jon Jones, Cormier's longtime rival.

Despite his allegiance to Jones, Steveson acknowledged the immense value he sees in Cormier's coaching acumen. "I would love that," Steveson stated when asked about the possibility of training with Cormier. He recognizes Cormier's extensive experience and proven success as a fighter and, more recently, as a highly respected coach.

While the rivalry between Cormier and Jones is legendary in the MMA world, Steveson seems to be prioritizing his personal development and learning from the best available resources, regardless of past animosities.
