The UFC officials needed a re-do for this one.
Almost a decade after making his professional MMA debut, heavyweight Tyrell Fortune won his first UFC match — but cage announcer Bruce Buffer accidentally read off the scores for his opponent, Marcin Tybura.
After Buffer read off Tybura’s scores, Forture exited the Octagon and made his way toward the tunnel before UFC officials caught the mistake and summoned him back and announced him the winner.. “I felt I didn’t do enough. I was just upset. With two weeks’ notice, I feel like I did a good job, but I also need to come with a better performance next time.”Former Chiefs Super Bowl champ gets into halftime fight with UFL fans — then scores touchdown“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the mix-up,” Buffer said. “The scoring is 29-28, 29-28, and 30-27 to the winner by unanimous decision, Tyrell Fortune.” Fortune, a former Division II national champion wrestler, has had a long path to reach the point he is currently at in his career.

Fortune eventually went on to make a full recovery.. “Once I was walking out of the Octagon I was just upset and frustrated with myself that I didn’t get the performance that I felt that I could. “It was a little upsetting, feeling that I lost,” he added. “But them having to come back in and get the win and getting my hand raised made everything feel right.”Former Tiger Woods employee blasts golf pro as 'terrible driver,' reveals why he likely refused urine sample after arrest Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice’ on Hulu, an Eyeball-Crossing Time Travel / Gangster / Rom-Com Led by Vince Vaughn
