Whoops! Ian McCall/Demetrious Johnson bout should have been a draw
In the first ever UFC 125-lb. match, an error by the athletic commission in Australia screwed up the result. Ian McCall and Demetrious Johnson's bout should have been scored as a draw, and their fight should have gone to a fourth, sudden-death round.
After the fight, MMA Junkie's John Morgan reported that the score announced was not the score written on the judges cards he received. During the post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White reported that the fight was actually scored as a majority draw. By the rules of the flyweight tournament, it should have gone to a fourth and decisive round, but the error was discovered too late.

"Controversy has stuck to us like glue. Human error happens. Johnson-McCall was a draw. Fight was supposed to go to a fourth round. The commission has taken responsibility," White said.
The two will rematch to decide who will take on Joseph Benavidez, the other flyweight tournament winner at UFC on FX 2 on Friday night. For McCall, it's another chance to give the fans a show.
"We get to fight again. I feel vindicated," McCall said.
Johnson was looking forward to fight Benavidez for the promotion's first flyweight title, but now the process will take longer.
"I thought I had the victory, and it sucks because it prolongs stuff," Johnson said.
One consolation for Johnson and McCall is that they won the $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus, and they both received their win bonuses. They will now have to schedule another fight to see when they can get a step closer to the championship belt.

Vettel: Red Bull vindicated by podium
Sebastian Vettel said his second place in the Australian Grand Prix proved that Red Bull is in much better shape than its surprise row three qualifying spots in Melbourne suggested. After dominating the 2011 season, Red Bull found itself back in fifth and sixth on the Melbourne grid with Mark Webber and Vettel. But Vettel was able to move forward in the race, getting up to third when Michael Schumacher retired his Mercedes, and then vaulting Lewis Hamilton's McLaren for second at the final pitstops

Massa: Ferrari worse than expected
Felipe Massa reckons Ferrari's plight may be even worse than the team feared after he could only qualify 16th for Formula 1's Australian Grand Prix season-opener in Melbourne. The Brazilian's team-mate Fernando Alonso was a second faster, but only 12th on the grid having spun off in Q2. "I am very disappointed: this is not the start to the season I was expecting or hoping for," said Massa

Singapore Airlines' no-frills 'Scoot' set for June take-off
Singapore?s new no-frills airline has finally released details of its aircraft, routes and fares as it goes on a social marketing blitz to promote its launch in June.
Named ?Scoot,? the budget airline's first route will be a daily Singapore-Sydney service, said company officials, with a Singapore-Gold Coast route to follow. Over the weekend, Scoot announced it had just purchased its first Boeing 777-200 from parent company Singapore Airlines.
Execs tell CNNGo that the SIA aircraft will be painted and retrofitted in the next two months before Scoot takes to the air in June.
The airline launched a series of videos, social media campaigns and stunts this month -- Scoot CEO Campbell Wilson rolled up to one press conference on a yellow scooter -- driving the point home that this is an airline with ?Scootitude," which is the airline's trademark. (We don't really know what it means.)
Scoot passengers will get a choice of three fare packages: Fly (seat only); FlyBag for passengers with luggage; and FlyBagEat for anyone who wants to pre-order meals, which will be cheaper than buying them on board. According to Australian Business Traveller, there won't be any conventional in-flight video screens but passengers will be able to rent pre-loaded iPads.
