Pre-fight analysis

One heavyweight has a single professional fight on record at this level and the other has a composite rating of four and a half.

There is very little data in this fight, and the responsible thing is to lead with that rather than dress it up. Gable Steveson has one recorded fight in this database — a first-round knockout of Elisha Ellison in July 2026 — and no height or reach on file. Everything attached to him, including a composite rating of 82.8 and a chin rating of 100.0, is derived from two and a half minutes of cage ti…

Steveson intel

Steveson (3-0) has one recorded fight at this level, a first-round knockout of Elisha Ellison in July 2026. No height or reach is on file and every rating attached to him — the 82.8 composite, the 100.0 chin, the 10.0 striking — comes from that single appearance. At 26 he is the younger man by seven years.

Sharaf intel

Sharaf (4-2) has been knocked out in both recorded UFC outings, by Steven Asplund in the second round in December 2025 and Junior Tafa in the second in October 2024. His composite of 4.5, momentum score of 0.0 and quality-of-victory of 0.0 are the lowest figures on the card.

Key angles

Steveson's entire professional record at this level is one first-round knockout

Sharaf has been stopped by strikes in both recorded UFC fights

No height or reach is recorded for Steveson, so the physical matchup is genuinely unknown

Sharaf's 0.0 wrestling score against an opponent whose reputation is built on wrestling

A 4.5 composite is the lowest figure here — the floor is very low on one side

Risk flags

Steveson's ratings come from a single short fight and could collapse the moment he is taken past round one

Sharaf's stoppage losses both came in the second round, meaning he has survived opening rounds against finishers before
