Gable Steveson signs with UFC; Paulo Costa impresses at light heavyweight

Multiple news items emerged following the recent UFC event. Bruce Buffer made another announcing error, declaring a majority decision for Padilla when the scorecards actually showed a draw, with fighters only learning the real result backstage. The Reyes-Walker bout unexpectedly became the most boring fight of the night. Gable Steveson, mentored by Jon Jones, has signed a UFC contract, with Jones also hinting at a possible return. Paulo Costa's light heavyweight debut has revitalized fan interest, with questions raised about why he spent years depleting himself at middleweight when he appears just as large but more durable at 205 pounds. A potential Costa-Prochazka matchup is suggested as an exciting option. Josh Hockita's performance impressed Donald Trump and earned him a fight with Derrick Lewis scheduled at the White House lawn.
