[WATCH] Bruce Buffer Makes A Mistake By Announcing Wrong Winner At UFC 301

Legendary UFC announcer Bruce Buffer made a mistake at the end of the UFC 301 match between Anthony Smith and Victor Petrino…
By announcing the wrong winner!

Smith tapped out Petrino with a great Guillotine Choke setup.
But then, when time came for the winner announcement, Buffer made a mistake – by initially declaring Petrino as the winner.

He quickly corrected himself, after some laughter and raised eyebrows by people in the octagon and in the stands.

But Smith, ever the sportsman, empathized with Buffer’s position:

I feel really bad for Buffer.

I know how serious and how much he loves his job and how professional he is.
He is really hard on himself.

Me and Bruce are friends, we work together a lot.
So, he takes his job so serious.

Smith feels bad for his friend:

He takes it to the heart; he puts his heart and soul into this job.
I feel bad because he’s probably bummed out about it.

I hope I get to talk to him after. I’m good with it — people make mistakes.
It’s no big deal.

I just hope he’s not beating himself up too bad.
