Is it me or is Joe Martinez much better than Buffer?

[swarrrm]

Buffer is horrendous

I hate his nasally voice and his goatee makes him look like a tool. Buffer's raspy voice sounds much better.

He does the job, though.

Much better for fight night cards and small time events. Buffer needs to be saved. But he loves money

He did the WEC back in the day right?

I wasn’t about for that era

He's terrible. Buffer is great - it's a show, nothing more nothing less, and he brings excitement. Only better announcer I've heard is the Pride lady.

To each their own. Helps scratch that nostalgic itch for me.

Joe Martinez is cringy. Like hes trying too hard.

They're both fine. I favor Buffer and his energy.

This thread is another entry in the "hang around long enough and you will get shit on" Sherdog tradition. #stopthehate

%100 agree with everything you said.

No he makes all names sound hispanic

There's lot of Americans who love trying to add Latin flair into things once they can mimic a Mexican accent. It's like the trendy, hip thing for a while now. Given his name is Martinez maybe he does have Hispanic heritage and actually knows Spanish, but I don't care to research that. I've noticed he does that too but I think I'm a little more ok with that than Buffer. He's just getting a little stale for me or maybe too overplayed in some instances.

Why can’t they both be good?
Buffer is perfect for big events, Martinez is great for smaller shows. I do love the way he pronounces all the Latin fighters names.

 

[TheBulge]

He just doesn't bring that UFC-feel to it.

Only Buffer does that.

 

[surgeyou1]

No. He just sounds like a Bellator guy lol

 

[El Fernas]

Buffer its the UFC, just like his brother only does the BIG fights, Joe Martinez is great, just like Jimmy Lennon Jr is, they are the 2nd best, and there is nothing wrong with that.

As bad as buffer is I got used to his corniness.

he’s actually 100x better than when he started. He used to be soo bad. Which was enjoyable as well.
