Jon Jones’ reaction says it all after Gable Steveson’s 12-second KO loss

Jon
Jones had a clear view of one of the biggest upsets in
Ultimate Fighting Championship history.
His protégé, Gable Steveson, suffered the first loss of his professional mixed martial arts career at UFC 331, with Sean Sharaf recording a 12-second knockout at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Heavy betting favorite Steveson entered the matchup unbeaten at 4-0, while Sharaf was 0-2 in the UFC. The latter uncorked a left hook early in the fight, putting the former to sleep. Steveson’s mentor, Jones, watched on and his reaction to the knockout is circulating online.
The former two-division UFC champion seemingly said, “Oh, my God!” while looking at his fellow cornermen.
Steveson dismissed Sharaf as a threat in the lead-up to the fight, relegating him to just a stepping stone towards his championship aspirations. “The Smoke” even provoked the polarizing Olympian at the pre-fight presser, bringing up past controversies that have turned many against him.
