  "account": "Josh Hokit, the soon-to-be UFC heavyweight champion, has criticized Gable Steveson's performance following his loss to Sean Sharaf at UFC 331. Hokit, who trains in the same circles as Steveson in Albuquerque, believes that Steveson is not practicing properly and is struggling due to the influence of Jon Jones. He claims that Steveson has stopped sparring and is not following the proper training regimen. Hokit also pointed out that Steveson left the cage before the official decision was read, which he viewed as another sign of potential issues. Hokit expects Steveson to face adversity and determine if he is truly committed to becoming a good fighter in the UFC.",
