What happened: Daniel Cormier called Gable Steveson a bad loser after Steveson exited the octagon before his opponent's hand was raised at UFC 331. The moment followed Sean Sharaf's 12-second first-round TKO of Steveson in a heavyweight bout.

Why it matters: The criticism adds a sportsmanship issue to an already rough UFC result for Gable Steveson, whose crossover has drawn attention all fight week. It also shifted some postfight focus away from Sharaf's quick finish and onto how Steveson handled the defeat.

What to watch: Watch for any public response from Steveson after Cormier's comments. Sharaf's next matchup will show whether the 12-second knockout speeds up his climb at heavyweight.
