If you’re of a certain age, you remember the introduction to ABC’s Wide World of Sports. The second sentences of that voiceover is famous — “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” The moment Bruce Buffer read the scores for the main event of UFC Vegas 57 was a perfect encapsulation of those words.
As Buffer announced that the judges had unanimously decided on a victor, Mateusz Gamrot and Arman Tsarukyan flanked referee Jason Herzog in the the center of the octagon. Herzog held the left arm of Tsarukyan while also grasping the right arm of Gamrot.
