  "account": "Gable Steveson and Sean Sharaf faced off in a highly anticipated UFC 331 bout at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The undefeated Steveson, who made his UFC debut in July with a first-round knockout, is a highly touted heavyweight prospect. He won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 2020 Olympics and has two NCAA Division-I championships under his belt. At 26 years old, Steveson is expected to be a future title contender.\n\nSharaf, a former United States Marine, is looking to secure his first UFC victory. With a 4-2 record, he has yet to secure a win in the octagon. The 33-year-old lost by second-round knockout to Junior Tafa and again finished in the second round against Steven Asplund, earning a Fight of the Night bonus for both fighters.\n\nIn the first round, Sharaf landed a 1-2 combination on Steveson, resulting in a first-round knockout. Steveson went down like a light, and the victory was hailed as one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. Post-fight, Sharaf expressed surprise, exclaiming, \"I’m not surprised, motherf*ckers!\" He thanked the crowd, hailing from Santa Ana, California.",
