Gable Steveson Knocked Out in Just 12 Seconds in UFC 331 Return
Former WWE prospect Gable Steveson suffered a stunning defeat at UFC 331 after Sean Sharaf knocked him out just 12 seconds into their fight in Los Angeles.
Steveson rushed forward early, but Sharaf caught him with a left hook that immediately ended the bout. Sharaf entered the fight as a heavy underdog after losing his previous two fights and later received a $100,000 “Proper Chaos” bonus from UFC President Dana White.
The defeat came after Steveson won his UFC debut earlier in 2026. His move to MMA followed a brief WWE stint, after which he also pursued a career in football before signing a multi-fight UFC deal.
Steveson was released by WWE in 2024. According to Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer, the decision was linked to concerns over his connection with fans, his progress in the ring and the cost of his contract.
