Olympic wrestling champion and UFC newcomer Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones, was involved in a 2019 sexual assault case that has resurfaced in discussion. On June 15, 2019, Steveson and a teammate from the U.S. wrestling team were arrested and charged with group sexual assault involving a foreign object, with the victim reporting to a hospital and immediately making accusations. The charges were ultimately dropped due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admissible because she had voluntarily consumed alcohol the evening of the incident. There were no witnesses other than the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other. While there was no direct proof of Steveson's guilt, the law was changed after this case to ensure victim testimony is now considered under any circumstances. The post notes that video exists of Steveson celebrating strangely with Jones at a Dirty Boxing event.
