A comprehensive recap of UFC 327 notes several key storylines. 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. Gable Steveson, mentored by Jon Jones, has signed with the UFC, and Jones also hinted at a possible return. Paulo Costa impressed fans with his performance, raising questions about why he stayed at middleweight for so long when he appears equally large but more durable at light heavyweight. Josh Hewitt's knockout impressed President Trump, earning him a fight against Derrick Lewis at the White House. The Reyes-Walker fight was surprisingly the most boring of the event. Jiri Prochazka issued a statement apologizing for his performance and vowing to return stronger, claiming he lost concentration rather than showing mercy to Ulberg.
