Even at almost 80, Michael Buffer sounds 100x better than Bruce

Michael is far more versatile and brings class to events but Bruce is perfect for that trashy UFC vibe. There is no replacing Bruce in the UFC.

Bruce has that "I look like a good guy but I'm an asshole behind the scenes" vibe.

He's like that guy in The Running Man:

I've been riding the Bruce > Michael train for a long time because I think Bruce is the GOAT.

But if I'm being honest, I'm starting to think the Samantha Irvin chick from WWE might be even better than Bruce, catchphrases aside.

The fink destroys everyone

I don't even consider him to be that opaque about it. I've always thought he looks like a complete asshole in front of or behind a camera. He was a complete douche when Bas and Mauro brought him on Inside MMA.

I have always been a Martinez guy, personally lol Never cared for Bruce

He's ok.

I still rather have the buff

 

[Vulve]

lol imagine thinking michael is better than bruce

 

[JustBleed69]

he has fake abs and is a goober fyi

I'm talking about him as an announcer

 

[BangBang]

Bruce is plastic tits vs real if you get my drift…

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

it gives the implicit impression MMA is 2nd to Boxing, which it currently is

Heres the real reason OP made this thread lol.

Michael is the original, he's been doing it for like 15 years longer. Bruce just stole his bit.

 

[Gorkle]

The biggest problem with Bruce is not his voice, his biggest problem is that he thinks people pay to watch him introduce fighters, and his shit is interminable

In Bruce's defence, he never repeatedly announced Bret "The Hitman" Clarke was on the way to the ring.

He didn't steal anything.

He has his own thing going on

oh in that case who gives a fook mate

 

[tymikeson]

Goodness, Bruce doesn't even come close, he sounds like he has gauze in his mouth. Michael is so fucking crisp its angelic. UFC needs to get rid of Bruce, because it gives the implicit impression MMA is 2nd to Boxing, which it currently is but why let people make that comparison. /rant

When he said 'lets get ready to rumble!" During 90's boxing PPVs it was like nothing else and gave chills down the spine. His delivery and the business of his voice was perfect.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

I cant believe this guy is only 80. His hair was entirely grey 40 years ago.

 

[DiddlyDoodly]

I can't stand Bruce Buffer. Joe Martinez all day.

 

[FreedomCricket]

Bruce is perfect for UFC.

No one gets me as excited right before a combat even like Bruce.

Bruce suits the all around trashier UFC vibe
