Initially, the judges scored the bout with two 29-27 scores and one 28-28 score in favor of Padilla. However, a crucial point deduction issued against Mederos in the third round for an eye poke altered the outcome. Judges Derek Cleary and Eliseo Rodriguez scored the fight 28-28 after the deduction, while only judge Solimar Miranda awarded Padilla a 29-27 score.

A statement from the UFC confirmed that the official decision was amended to a majority draw after the scoring error was clarified. “A scoring error has taken a win away from Chris Padilla after he was initially scored a majority decision victory over MarQuel Mederos at UFC 327 on Saturday,” the statement read.

Without the point deduction, Mederos would have emerged victorious, raising questions about the integrity of the scoring process. The fight went the full three rounds, showcasing both fighters’ skills and determination.

In the aftermath, Mederos expressed relief that he no longer has a loss on his record as he initially thought following the fight. “In the end that point deduction cost Mederos the win but at least he no longer has a loss on his record as he initially thought after the fight on Saturday,” sources reported.

This incident highlights the ongoing challenges within MMA judging and scoring, prompting discussions about potential reforms to ensure accuracy in fight outcomes. Observers expect further scrutiny of judging practices in future events to prevent similar occurrences.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential rematch or further actions from the UFC following this controversial decision.
