Bruce Buffer Says He Alone Is to Blame for UFC Seattle Result Mix-Up

The apology highlights how a wrong call can spoil a fighter’s biggest moment.

Overview

  • Buffer, who spoke Wednesday, accepted full responsibility and apologized to Marcin Tybura and Tyrell Fortune.
  • At UFC Seattle on March 28 at Climate Pledge Arena, he first read Tybura as the decision winner before officials recalled the fighters and he corrected it to Fortune.
  • He contrasted this error with UFC 327, where a commission scoring discrepancy changed Chris Padilla vs. Marquel Mederos from a majority decision to a majority draw after his announcement.
  • UFC CEO Dana White called the mistake rare and described Buffer as a pro.
  • No disciplinary steps or later reversals have been reported since the Seattle card.
