Bruce Buffer is bad

I'm inclined to agree. Joe Martinez is 10x better.
Nah he doesn't know how to hype the big ones, he's too cookie cutter, and his wording isn't as smoothe, saying 5 losses rolls off the tongue better than saying 5 defeats
 
he's just horrible, always has been. have no idea why they didn't get rid of him at the same time as goldberg. both are just bush league.
 
you say this but you'd miss him just like Goldie.
 
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.

Michael Buffer announced some of the most iconic fights of the last 3-4 decades. He's an icon. Bruce has a long way to go.
 
Hes a complete fucking goof but Im not gonna playa hate, guy knows how to close deals.
 
He’s cheesy but he also has great energy.

martinez has an awesome voice but lacks energy.

they need a hybrid of both of them
 
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
I have been saying Buffooner needs to go for a long time.

Listen up Pink Goof.

Classic Creepy Buffer right there...
 
Why the fck is he fist pounding the fighters and talking like he's one of them. Dude you're just an announcer calm down.

Mother fucker thinks he's Chuck Zito or someshyt.
 
Just sucks because he has been totally overused. In front 0 spectators announcing regional level fighters.
 
50 ufc events a year, 10 fight average card. Why would I want to hear the same shit 500 times a year? FOR DECADES.
5000 times Bruce Buffer saying the same shit with his ugly face.

That's like having 1 ugly ring girl since UFC 6 and having Gracie fighting Gordeau for 5000 times in a row
 
Bruce makes it into a spectacle which is fun, Martinez just sounds boring and the type of guy you would expect to announce in a smaller org. Never understood why anyone would prefer the type of announcer that Martinez is versus Buffer and crazy Pride lady. MMA may be a sport (sort of), but it’s first and foremost entertainment.
 
I do think nowadays most people just mute the announcer or use that time to eat something etc. I dont know anyone who enjoys that anymore.
Imo what irritates people about Buffer is that he is an insecure creep out of the cage and well sometimes inside. As an announcer its ok how he does it if you like that stuff.

His brother really had something back then. I did enjoy listening to him with big boxing fights.
 
That’s just how Latin Americans from the US do it. I’m sure that your accent of Brit-meets-high-Spanish is absolutely delightful

**coming from a yank who studies high Spanish but only gets to practice with Mexicans and Puerto Ricans.
I'm not British. I'm American, and have lived in Central America and the CA/Mexico border as well..... that's how *lame*, car-salesmen-sounding latinos speak. And my problem isn't his accent (or even your snobbish miss at me), it's his over-pronunciation and cheese-level. Sorry you have a problem with my opinion on this matter. Glad you like the cheese, it must make watching TV and bad announcers much easier.
 
Bruce alongside with Dana and Rogan are the face of UFC, it will never be the same without them.
 
I never thought he was great to begin with. The guy has energy sure, but when he tries over exerting his voice it just dosen't sound good. He's certainly not nearly as good as his brother. I get why people like him, but i've heard plenty who I think do it better.
