UFC 331 Report: Did Gable Steveson have the worst week in UFC history?

Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson suffered a brutal 12-second knockout loss to Sean Sharaf on the main card of UFC 331. The defeat capped off a highly tumultuous fight week for the prospect, who faced relentless booing from fans and verbal attacks from his opponent. Following the quick knockout, Steveson immediately left the cage and did not stay for the official decision announcement.

Throughout the week, Sharaf mocked Steveson over past sexual assault allegations, which Steveson attempted to dismiss before the fight. The loss has generated significant backlash from the MMA community, overshadowing other major UFC 331 events, including Joshua Van's victory over Alexandre Pantoja and Arman Tsarukyan's lightweight title contention bid.
