Bruce Buffer is bad

I was bored with Bruce ten years ago, now I’m just annoyed. I hope they get rid of him soon. Imagine if the UFC still used that old gladiator intro and it’s old theme song. That’s what still using Bruce Buffer is like.
 
Has anyone ever noticed that he doesn't have a voice for announcing.
 
Pity they can't get Michael. Instead we have to put up with the budget version who jumps around like a fruit and can't even pronounce 'UFC'.
 
It drives me nuts that he continues to butcher "Hawaii" and our towns after so many years.

...but it's the Buff. Can't help getting all amped when he's calling the main event.
 
Bruce is part of the original package but the product changed. He is perhaps the most replaceable person ever at the moment.
But if he leaves expect him to show up in bella Bellator lol.
 
Bruce is overrated to an extent but still deserves his spot as number 1.
MMA wise, nobody does it better
But somebody does it better. Bruce is all about nostalgia, which works for me too, but Joe Martinez is way better.
 
The guy can’t pronounce names and countries correctly, and he does long intros for every fight. The UFC needs to move on from Bruce
You’ll get flamed hard for this, but good on ya. I agree, Bruce is insufferable. I came up on Michael Buffer tho so I’m used to less screaming and a smoother sound. Joe Martínez is the best we have right now imo.
 
Bruce aint perfect, but he's at least iconic and distinct. Martinez is Captain Generic.
 
Over-pronouncing Latin seems to be a thing that lots of people do when they pretend they get Spanish and act like they are all knowledgeable about the culture. In reality it's just the pop culture, knowing a couple Spanish lines from songs, or know the common curse words. Just to give the impression that they know another language. Almost like being Mexican/Spanish is the new gangsta phase although that one is still pretty prevalent as lots of people like to act hard. I would guess Martinez knows Spanish but I don't know.

Haha, I don't know which is lamer, knowing Spanish and having to flex it, or not knowing it and pretending to flex it....
 
Buffer is very popular lmao. All Buffer haters must be on sherdog. When I attended my first live event in Stockholm Buffer was there and the entire crowd went absolutely wild during his announcement yelling along with him.
Agreed. Good points. And people hating on him....as if it has any impact on their lives. And like you said, *everywhere* he goes, he's wildly popular (read: iconic), so there's definitely some kind of concentration bias going one.
And lastly, SO many fighters like him, including all the ones I know who know him personally. Just bitter Sherbros.
 
UFC without Bruce is like woman without tiddies.
Doesnt necessary makes a girl better looking but for sure its good addition for fun.
 
It wouldn't be the same without him.

Also, LOL at people liking Joe Martinez. He hasn't changed his intro and it is major cringe. Still screams "FANS, MAKE SOME NOISE!!!" to an audience-less event.
 
Never thought he'd live up to his brothers name but dude has probably even surpassed it since none of the kids the UFC markets at were around in the prime boxing years.
 
I mean....

He seems fine to me. He says the stuff and things that he's supposed to say.

But...

Who really cares?
I have a hard time registering emotions beyond indifferent when it comes to shit like ring announcers.


Bruce is like the girlfriend that was there before you got rich, so she comes along for the ride.

he works hard and cares maybe even way the fuck too much about his little part in the show.

And he works during the smoke break. He is like my fight alarm clock, I hear his ass screaming/singing his words and it reminds me to go back before the fight starts.
