A Polymarket trader earned approximately $67,000 after the UFC mistakenly announced the wrong winner during a heavyweight bout. The trader capitalized on the error by purchasing shares for the correct winner just before the announcement was corrected.
The trader, known as LlamaEnjoyer on Polymarket, invested $676 in one-cent shares for Tyrell Fortune after UFC announcer Bruce Buffer initially declared Marcin Tybura the winner. Following the correction, the trader's investment yielded a profit of $67,608. This incident occurred during a live fight where the announcement mistake led to a significant drop in shares for Fortune.
