We must remove the contact line at end. Now rewrite preserving quotes exactly. We'll vary sentence structure, but keep quotes unchanged. We need to output only the rewritten article. Let's craft paragraphs. We'll start: Gable Steveson, the Olympic wrestling gold medalist, anticipates not just a win but a dominant performance against Elisha Ellison in his UFC debut on the preliminary card of UFC 329 at T‑Mobile Arena. Oddsmakers concur. Steveson is poised to enter the cage Saturday night as the biggest betting favorite in UFC history, currently listed as high as –4000; a $4,000 wager would return $100. That line is extraordinary for a heavyweight bout, traditionally the sport’s most unpredictable division. Steveson’s résumé includes an Olympic gold medal, four Big Ten titles, two national championships at Minnesota, and the sport’s mention of the Heisman Trophy twice. His three professional bouts on the determination circuit all ended in first‑round knockouts, leading many to view him as the finest heavyweight prospect ever to step into the UFC. He says he is not intimidated by the hype. Quote: “I person everything to gain,” helium said. “I cognize what’s going to happen. I’ve seen it successful my caput truthful galore times. I’ve seen it successful my thoughts. I’ve prepared for this infinitesimal for galore months. I cognize what’s going to hap Saturday, which volition beryllium a large triumph for us.” Ellison, a former police serviceman and military veteran who turned to mixed martial arts to cope with PTSD, believes he has little to lose. He carries a 5‑2 professional record, lost his UFC debut last year, and acknowledges he is a massive underdog often cast as a sacrificial lamb. Quote: “I get an accidental to daze the world,” helium said. “I get to play with location money. We’ve enactment successful the enactment these past fewer months, present we get to amusement everyone what we already know.” Although Steveson has long been touted as a future MMA star, his path has included detours. He signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2004 despite never having played organized football, participated in training camp, logged three tackles and two “backmost” hits in three preseason appearances before being released. That followed a brief stint as a professional wrestler in WWE. Many have viewed the UFC as the most direct route to stardom for a non‑traditional athlete. Quote: “This was ever the plan,” helium said. “I should person astur apt started with this program astatine first, but things happen. You get immoderate hiccups and you person to enactment done them. But I’m truthful gladsome to beryllium present present and it’s a large accidental for maine to spell retired determination and win.” While aware of the expectations, the 26‑year‑old Minnesota native says he is avoiding looking too far ahead. Steveson insists he is content with an unheralded opponent for his debut rather than chasing a top‑10 spot immediately. He also sees the opportunity as a springboard for a rapid rise. Quote: “It’s a wide unfastened division,” helium said. “I’m focused connected Saturday. I’m taking it 1 time astatine a time. I cognize what’s going to travel Saturday and I cognize what volition hap aft and I’ll beryllium acceptable for that moment.” He added: “Time is going to determination accelerated wherever thing volition travel up and thing volition travel up aft that. I volition conscionable beryllium grateful for the infinitesimal and unrecorded successful the moment, but clip is going to determination fast.” Should he fulfill expectations, the bout will draw considerable attention, especially with the main event featuring Conor McGregor. Quote: “This volition beryllium the amusement I privation it to be,” helium said. “It volition beryllium the Gable Steveson show. I’ve been successful large shows my full life, truthful it’s conscionable different time for me.” Steveson has been preparing under the guidance of former two‑division champion Jon Jones, one of the UFC’s all‑time greats and a former collegiate wrestler. He believes Jones can become an elite coach and credits him for installing the same type of training camp Jones enjoyed during his own career. Ellison dismisses the relevance of Jones’ presence. Quote: “Jon Jones isn’t successful the Octagon,” helium said. “So, it doesn’t substance to me.” Now ensure we kept all quotes exactly as in source, including spaces and weird words. Let's verify each quote. First quote: Original: ““I person everything to gain,” helium said. “I cognize what’s going to happen. I’ve seen it successful my caput truthful galore times.
