Joe Rogan Comments on Gable Steveson Training With Jon Jones

During a recent podcast episode, podcast host and analyst Joe Rogan evaluated heavyweight prospect Gable Steveson following a shocking twelve-second knockout defeat against Sean Sharaf at UFC 331 last month. Rogan specifically addressed Steveson's choice of training partner, questioning whether working alongside veteran Jon Jones creates a false sense of security for the newcomer.

While acknowledging Steveson possesses the raw athleticism necessary for success, Rogan compared the situation to former champion Kamaru Usman and warned that assuming greatness prematurely can hinder an athlete's development. Steveson is expected to take a temporary break from competition to address defensive vulnerabilities before deciding whether to continue preparing alongside Jones.
