Fans around the world can catch all the action for free via the official live stream—no paywall, no subscription required.
Steveson, the 25-year-old freestyle wrestling phenom who claimed gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and boasts multiple NCAA Division I heavyweight titles, has wasted no time transitioning to mixed martial arts. After explosive first-round finishes in his first two pro bouts, the former WWE star now faces his toughest test yet: Lezama, a battle-tested 11-3 heavyweight with experience across regional promotions and an 82% finishing rate. Weighing in at a career-low 249 pounds on Wednesday, Steveson looked sharp and confident during the ceremonial staredown, locking eyes with the 238-pound Lezama in a tense but respectful exchange that had cameras flashing.
This heavyweight showdown headlines MFL 3 from the Showcenter Complex in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Steveson has teased big plans beyond tonight, hinting at a potential UFC debut—possibly even calling for a spot on the rumored White House card—if he secures another highlight-reel victory. Lezama, fighting on home soil, aims to play spoiler and prove his veteran savvy can neutralize the Olympic wrestler’s elite grappling and improving striking.
