Announced Weidman vs Maia score was incorrect

Last night Bruce Buffer announced that Chris Weidman had won a split decision over Demian Maia. UFC President Dana White later clarified the score, via twitter.

The score on the Maia vs Weidman fight was wrong,” White said. “It wasn’t a split dec, Weidman won all 3 rounds.

The difference between a Split Decision and a Unanimous Decision can be confusing. A Split Decision is when one judge scores the fight in favor of one fighter, while the other two score it in favor of the other. A Unanimous Decision is when all three judges score the fight in favor of one fighter. 

A Draw is when all three judges score the fight even. A Majority Decision is when one judge scores the fight a draw, and a two judges score in favor of the fighter. A Majority Draw is when two judges score the fight a draw, and one judge scores in favor of a fighter.

Win, lose, or draw, the fight was not well received by the fans cageside, who booed. Reaction on teh Underground indicates that fans watching on FOX were probably not riveted either.
