Joe Martinez is better than Bruce Buffer

[king of theRing]

Been trying to tell you guys this for years

 

[Gracious Warrior]

Bruce buffer is way over the top. He tries to make it about him as much as the fighter. I wouldn't mind having someone like Joe Martinez moving forward. Just say ur shit and let the fighters get on with their business, no spinning bullshit and fist pounding during introduction

 

[Haliacmon]

Bruce is so predictable and doing the same crap for so long , fights seem to be an ahead eternity to begin

I like Bruce, but admittedly, I hate change.

 

[MikeyB]

Joe is good, but Bruce is our goober

 

[ThaiPlumRillo]

Martinez is very clean an does seem more professional but buffers more nostalgic

 

[Joseph Alfano]

My only complaint is that he says how the fight ended before the rest of the information. Like he says "this RNC came in the very first round for your winner by sub John Smith" as opposed to "Herb Dean has called this contest in the first round declaring your winner by RNC John Smith"
I know its something small but thats my only complaint

Buffer is a holdover when when MMA was some extreme underground sport, and everything had to be hammed up almost to a professional wrestling level. Rogan's the same way - that rabid fan sort who thinks he knows more than he actually does.

Martinez is professional and fits perfectly as an announcer for a sport that's now mainstream and is widely accepted and appreciated.

Smooth voice, more professional than Bruce Buffer. He doesn’t try to make it about himself, no fist bumping fighters, and wearing tacky suits.

Exactly, more professional.

I think they're going to start phasing Buffer and Rogan out more and more. They don't fit into what WME has decided they want the product to look like.
