    Oh hey remember when the UFC announced they'd have a sudden victory round if either of the flyweight tournament bouts were ruled a draw? Oops!

    The scorekeeper at UFC on FX: Kampmann vs. Alves didn't tabulate the scores correctly, declaring what was a majority draw a majority win for Johnson, but the decision has been reviewed and the math checked and as it turns out--rightly--the first two rounds went to Johnson and the third 10-8 to McCall, on the scorecards of two out of three judges, meaning the fight is a draw.

    As such the two fighters will have to rematch to see who faces Joe Benavidez for the flyweight title. Pushes that fight back about six months, though.
