During the UFC 297 preliminary portion of the card a fight took place between Sean Woodson and Charles Jourdain. The fight went to the scorecards where Bruce Buffer called a split decision win for Woodson.
The only thing is, both fighters and the crowd thought he announced Jourdain as the winner.
Daniel Cormier entered the Octagon to interview Woodson who was walking out of the cage while Jourdain celebrated. It was Cormier who had to clear up the confusion and, needless to say, the Canadian crowd was not happy.

MMA Twitter found the whole thing quite funny.
What a bizarre scene. Bruce Buffer announces Sean Woodson won the fight, but everyone misheard it as Charles Jourdain? Must be loud in there. Super odd #UFC297

The best part of Woodson/Jourdain was Jourdain being confused and thinking he was announced as the winner 😂
