Olympic wrestling gold medalist Gable Steveson has officially signed a contract with the UFC. Jon Jones, who has been mentoring Steveson, also posted information suggesting a possible return to competition. Bruce Buffer made another announcing error at UFC 327, declaring a majority decision for Padilla when the scorecards actually showed a draw. The Reyes-Walker fight unexpectedly turned out to be the most boring bout on the card. Paulo Costa's performance revitalized his reputation, with questions raised about why he remained at middleweight for so long when he appears equally imposing at light heavyweight with better cardio. A potential Costa-Prochazka matchup is being discussed as an exciting possibility.
