Sean Woodson was walking out of the octagon when he found out he was actually the winner of his UFC 297 prelim against Charles Jourdain.
Moments earlier, Jourdain and the crowd at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto had celebrated what they thought was a split decision win for the Canadian.
To their chagrin, they got fact-checked, and Woodson was the winner via two 29-28 scores opposite one for Jourdain, 29-28.
