Several notable stories emerged from UFC 327. Bruce Buffer incorrectly announced a majority decision victory for Padilla when the scorecards actually showed a draw, with fighters only learning the real result backstage. Unexpectedly, the Reyes-Walker bout proved to be the most boring fight of the entire card. Gable Steveson, protégé of Jon Jones, has signed a UFC contract, with Jones also hinting at a possible return. Paulo Costa has revived his reputation among MMA fans with his performance at light heavyweight, raising questions about why he remained at middleweight for so long when he appears just as large but more durable at 205 pounds. A potential Costa-Prochazka matchup is being discussed as an exciting possibility. Josh Hockit's performance impressed President Trump and earned him a bout with Derrick Lewis scheduled for the White House lawn.
