Bruce Buffer incorrectly announced the result of the Padilla fight as a majority decision when the actual scorecards showed a draw, with fighters learning the real outcome only backstage. The Reyes-Walker bout surprisingly turned out to be the most boring fight of the entire event. Gable Stevenson, Jon Jones' protégé, signed with the UFC, with Jones also hinting at a potential return. Paulo Costa received renewed fan appreciation after his performance, with observers questioning why he stayed at middleweight for so long when he appears just as large at light heavyweight but with better cardio. A potential Costa-Prochazka matchup was suggested as an exciting possibility. Josh Hockett's performance impressed Donald Trump, resulting in Hockett being booked against Derrick Lewis at the White House lawn. Jiri Prochazka stated that mercy was inappropriate, vowing to destroy that part of himself, admitting he lost concentration and apologizing for his performance.
