  "account": "Gable Steveson, the Olympic champion, was stunned by retired U.S. Marine Sean Sharaf in a shocking 12-second knockout loss at UFC 331. The 26-year-old Sharaf entered the bout as a heavy underdog after two recent losses, while Steveson was favored to win. However, a powerful left hand was all Sharaf needed for one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. Post-fight, Sharaf expressed his elation and gratitude for the support he received. Steveson, known for his impressive amateur wrestling career and five first-round knockout wins, did not have the same success in his second UFC appearance.",
  "summary": "Sharaf entered UFC 331 as more than a 10-to-1 underdog and was winless in his previous two Octagon appearances.",
