Bruce Buffer incorrectly announced the result of the Padilla fight as a majority decision when scorecards showed a draw, with fighters learning the actual result backstage. Gable Steveson, protégé of Jon Jones, officially signed with the UFC, with Jones hinting at his own potential return. Paulo Costa's performance revitalized fan interest, raising questions about why he remained at middleweight for so long when he appears more effective at light heavyweight. Jiri Prochazka posted an apology stating he must destroy the merciful part of himself and lost concentration rather than showing inappropriate mercy to Ulberg. The post also noted that the Reyes-Walker bout was surprisingly the most boring fight of the entire card.
