Sean Sharaf Contemplates Retirement Following UFC 331 Victory

Sean Sharaf secured a notable upset at UFC 331, ending his two-fight losing skid by knocking out Gable Steveson in 12 seconds with a left hook. Despite the significant victory, Sharaf revealed during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience that he is currently considering retirement.

Sharaf stated that he is weighing whether continued competition is worth the effort, citing physical injuries and the difficulty of replicating such a career-defining moment. He noted that he lacked sponsors and proper coaching support entering the contest. Furthermore, Sharaf alleged that Steveson did not take the matchup seriously, pointing to Steveson's participation in RAF matches during his preparation as evidence of a lack of focus.
