The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation made a "mistake" on the official scorecard for Jon Jones vs. Dominick Reyes.
Jones controversially beat Reyes by unanimous decision to defend his UFC light-heavyweight title at UFC 247 in Houston.

The judges scored the main-event clash 48-47, 48-47 & 49-46 to the champion and shortly after the decision was called out, the official scorecard emerged online with a "mistake".
The Texas commission awarded Jones the victory by unanimous decision despite marking the bout as a "draw" and "majority draw" on the scorecard.
Marcos Rosales had Jones winning three rounds (second, fourth and fifth). Chris Lee also had him winning three rounds (third, fourth and fifth) while Joe Solis inexplicably gave Jones four rounds (second, third, fourth and fifth).
UFC president Dana White called Solis' card "insane" and believes the valiant challenger deserves an immediate rematch.

"Do I think he deserves the rematch? Sure, he does," he said in the UFC 247 post-fight press conference.
"But we'll see what happens... Here's the other thing. Say what you want about Jon Jones - Jon Jones wins fights. It's not like there's this landslide.
"I've been hearing this all night. 'Jon Jones won the fight, it was a draw, Reyes won the fight.' It's all over the map.
"It all depends on the way you judge a fight and it doesn't f**king matter - we're not judges. One thing I do know - both of these guys are tough as nails, man. The shots that both these guys took tonight to the body, legs, head. Phenomenal fight between two phenomenal athletes. Say what you want about Jon Jones - Jon Jones wins fights."
