Joe Rogan has tied Steveson’s UFC 331 knockout to the pressure surrounding Jon Jones, but the useful betting evidence lies in two violent, wrestling-free UFC appearances.

Claims that Steveson did not spar properly before his first-round knockout loss matter, but his brief, striking-heavy UFC record cannot yet separate a preparation failure from a broader developmental problem.
