  "account": "Gable Steveson's unexpected knockout loss at UFC 331 left fans stunned. Despite being the 265-pound division's future star and training under Jon Jones, Steveson was quickly knocked out by Sean Sharaf in just 12 seconds, making it one of the fastest heavyweight knockouts in history. Joe Rogan discussed the implications of Steveson's defeat, suggesting that the Olympic champion may have started to feel invincible due to his association with Jones. Rogan noted that when one trains with the GOAT, they might begin to believe they are the next in line for greatness. This newfound confidence could prove dangerous if not tempered by caution. He pointed to Kamaru Usman's recent knockout loss as another example of a fighter's downfall after feeling invincible, having controlled the fight for four rounds before suffering a brutal knockout at the hands of Leon Edwards. Rogan praised Sharaf's ability to rise from two UFC losses and become an underdog who delivered a wild and entertaining upset, reminding us why MMA remains so unpredictable and captivating.",
