Bruce Buffer made an error in announcing the fight result, declaring a majority decision victory for Padilla when the scorecards actually showed a draw. The fighters only learned the real outcome backstage. In other news, Gable Steveson, a protégé of Jon Jones, has signed a contract with UFC, and Jones himself hinted at a possible return. Paulo Costa impressed fans in his light heavyweight performance and appears rejuvenated after years of difficult weight cuts at middleweight. Jiří Procházka issued a statement after his loss, saying he lost concentration, was caught, and that mercy was inappropriate in the fight, vowing to return stronger.
