If you think about it, Bruce Buffer has one job. And he has managed to mess that up. The 68-year-old announcer became the centre of attention at UFC Seattle after he made the same mistake as Steve Harvey. The American TV Show host announced the wrong name at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant on December 20, 2015. Now, Buffer has made the same mistake after the fight between Tyrell Fortune and Marcin Tybura.
Tyrell Fortune edged Marcin Tybura in a slow, tactical heavyweight bout. Fortune started strong with an early takedown and control, while Tybura rallied with higher output and pressure in later rounds. Neither landed decisive damage, but activity contrasted with selectivity. However, after the fight ended, things took a rather unusual turn, as Bufer had announced Marcin Tybura as the winner.
“Bruce Buffer accidentally announced Marcin Tybura as the winner…,” Championship Rounds highlighted on X. “Tyrell Fortune was brought back into the cage and announced as the actual winner

The judges scored the fight 30-27, 29-28, 29-28, all in Fortune’s favor. But when fans discovered the mishap, it didn’t take long for the calls for Buffer’s retirement to pile up.
One user wrote: “That was about to be the legit biggest robbery in history.”
Another posted: “Buffer really needs to double-check those cards. Tybura must’ve been like, Wait, I didn’t even fight!”
Someone else claimed, “It might be the signs of retirement for Bruce Buffer?”
The next user commented, “Bruce needs to retire. He constantly sounds like his dentures are about to fall out.”
This user suggested, “Bro should sue him for emotional damage.”
