UFC 205 results: Tyron Woodley retains title in wild draw with Stephen Thompson

Even a gigantic screwup by the New York State Athletic Commission couldn't ruin a classic welterweight tile fight between champion Tyron Woodley and challenger Stephen Thompson.

Woodley and Thompson went back and forth in a memorable five-round battle at New York's Madison Square Garden at UFC 205 on Saturday night.

After inexplicably pulling ring announcer Bruce Buffer out of the cage, the commission incorrectly read the fight result as a split-decision victory for Woodley.

But the scores -- a pair of 47-47s and a 48-47 for Woodley -- was a majority draw.
