Sorry what has happened to Yahoo Finance? First - Buffett didn't be that he could beat Hedge Funds, he bet that the S&P will beat hedge funds - he was basically making the opposite argument that the headline implies. He was betting the fees and inefficiencies of Hedge Funds meant they wouldn't beat the market. Not that Buffett personally could outperform them.

Then one sentence into the article they start trying to shill dodgy commercial real estate investment strategies. Can we just take a moment to consider the balls you have to have to insert that suggestion into this article about what Buffett is saying. I'm fairly sure the message Buffett was trying to push wasn't "Hedge funds are bad you should go and put your money into highly suspicious alternative investment schemes".
