Bruce Buffer Needs To Keep His Mitts Off The Fighters Pre-Fight

[WaylonMercy5150]

He just gets way to close and begs for a fist bump. Chandler looked pretty natural doing it but Aloe Vera seemed distracted by Buff and offered an awkward fist just to get him to leave. Bruce should just stay put and announce the fighters not try and be part of the show!

 

[The Bloody Nine]

He's such a goofball.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Isn't fist-bumping Buffer bad luck, anyway?

 

[Ardelia13]

Except he's literally "part of the show". He gets paid to create staging, mood, and hype.

He's an actor....and the UFC wants him to be one.

He fists every fighter now to throw off the juju.

 

[Final Say]

The most ridiculous thing I’ve seen on sherdog is the idea that the ufc has better announcers than buffer. Bruce is far and away the best we have and we should appreciate him.

Come on, nothing wrong with that.

The whole viewing experience of being a UFC fan is awful. You have to listen to the least funny man who ever lived, Joe Rogan. The most over the top fight announcer in Bruce Buffer.

Just overall it's an embarrassing product ti admit you are a fan of. I specifically avoid watching UFC fights around my Mrs because she absolutely slaughters me.

But I don't think fist bumping the fighters hypes up anyone but himself. It just makes it about himself when he's just there to create staging, mood, and hype.

 

[JustforBROCK]

He rode his long lost brothers coat tales to a career as an announcer even thou he has the shittiest voice ever. The UFC is the only place that has even given this guy a job. if he hadnt found out Michael Buffer was his brother he'd be selling car insurance. And they kept this goof over Goldie? Fuck the UFC.

Ok Karen

They would kick him to the curb in an instant if they could afford Big Bro Michael

 

[Slatersan]

I thought the same thing when he socked chandlers fist real hard to show that he is also manly or whatever. What an idiotic thing to do.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

The old douche claims that he went at it with Frank Trigg in a elevator. What a clown. I don’t mind his announcing and I know that I will never be as famous or successful as him( good for him, tbh). But still..... he’s a fake abs clown.

You dont see Mike fist bumping fighters before a match.

 

[Ruke Doufus]

The buff is a cornball but he definitely adds to the experience. You can't deny that.

It was clown college for sure. He needs to have a talking to before he accidently hurts a fighter of some fluky shit happens.

 

[Craig Hogg]

UFC will be better without him and Rogan. Buffer thinks he's Hugh Hefner with his awful jackets.

I agree but he should keeps his hands off the fighters before the fight.

Maybe....I don't have a dog in that fight. I don't really like or dislike Buffer; he just is what he is.

But "what he is" is a sideshow attraction that's part of the bigger show in his own right. People complaining about him "making it about him" are missing the point that when he's announcing, he's putting on a paid performance...in that moment, it actually is about him. By design.

If you want it all to be about the fighters, and wish he were more background, ok, cool...I can roll with that attitude. But that's clearly not what the people putting on the show want...he's just doing his job.
