Awkward moment after wrong winner announced

Tyrell Fortune was declared the winner after UFC officials corrected Bruce Buffer's initial misannouncement; judges scored the fight unanimously for Fortune.

  • On Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Seattle, heavyweight Tyrell Fortune defeated Marcin Tybura by unanimous decision, though announcer Bruce Buffer initially declared Tybura the winner before correcting the mistake.
  • Judges scored the bout 30-27, 29-28, and 29-28 for Fortune, but Buffer's misannouncement led Fortune to exit the Octagon while Tybura briefly celebrated what he thought was victory.
  • "I was so upset with myself," Fortune said, noting he felt he didn't do enough. Commentator Paul Felder commended Tybura for his professional handling of the bizarre situation.
  • Once officials caught the error, they summoned Fortune back to the cage where Buffer apologized. "Ladies and gentlemen, I apologise for the mix-up," Buffer stated before announcing Fortune the winner.
  • Nearly 10 years after his professional debut, the 35-year-old Fortune secured his first UFC victory. He previously competed in Bellator MMA and the PFL before this milestone win.
