Gable Steveson will return to the octagon at UFC 336 on January 30 in Toronto, where the Olympic gold medalist is booked to face Terrance Chatman on a card headlined by the flyweight title fight between Joshua Van and Manel Kape. Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting.

The bout marks Steveson’s third UFC appearance and his first since suffering one of the sport’s most startling recent upsets. At UFC 331 in September, Sean Sharaf knocked out the heavyweight prospect in just 12 seconds — a result that ended a run of four consecutive first-round stoppages to open Steveson’s MMA career, including a TKO over Elisha Ellison on his octagon debut at UFC 329 in July.

Chatman, 29, also enters the fight looking to recover from a setback. In his UFC debut at UFC Sacramento, he was submitted by Anthony Wint. Before reaching the promotion, Chatman won five of his first six professional bouts, the majority of them competing under the Fury FC banner.

UFC 336’s co-main event pits Carlos Prates against Michael Morales for the interim welterweight title, giving the Toronto card two championship bouts at the top of the billing.
