UFC 327 recap: Buffer error, Costa's resurgence, Prochazka's apology

Bruce Buffer incorrectly announced a majority decision victory for Padilla when the scorecards showed a draw, with fighters only learning the actual result backstage. The Reyes-Walker bout unexpectedly became the dullest fight of the evening. Gable Stevenson, protege of Jon Jones, has signed with the UFC, while Jones hinted at a possible return. Paulo Costa's performance revitalized his standing with fans, raising questions about why he remained at middleweight for so long when he appears both bigger and more conditioned at light heavyweight. A potential Costa-Prochazka matchup is suggested as an exciting possibility. Josh Hockett's performance impressed Donald Trump, earning him a bout with Derrick Lewis scheduled at the White House lawn. Jiri Prochazka issued an apology statement saying mercy was inappropriate, he lost concentration, takes no excuses, promises to return stronger, and is going home to witness the miracle of life.
