Lenne Hardt vs Bruce Buffer

[BluntForceTrama]

Who do you prefer? Who was better?

Lenne Hardt - Pride

Bruce Buffer - UFC

Its hard choice for me bur I almost prefer the classic simplicity and unobtrusiveness Lenne Hardt It actually wasnt that simple with the light and firework show.....the only thing I can liken it to is Mad Max Thunderdome on sterioids I actually went to a few pride events and those intros got my blood crawling in a good way .....she was so damn good


For whatever reason
Bruce Buffer is great as well but is too egotistical for my tastes and I dont care for how uninvitedly ham hes become with the fist bumps and attention he often demands on the 'stage'

I like everybody above Bruce.
Why would I like to have to same announcer 5000 times a decade?
I also don't eat 5000 times the same

Bruce Buffer, on his best day, isn't even breathing the same air as Lenne Hardt on her worst day. She's at the summit of Everest and he's fucking a goat in Florida.

For real, she's amazing and legendary.

michael c. williams is still the best mma announcer of all-time. yes, i love lenne hardt, she is great. it goes over the top too often though, and gets tiresome. but the guy from bellator kills. super smooth and professional, and actually says the foreign names and places correctly with accents! lol

 

[sonhow]

Id be willing to let Brucy Bruce announce a fight like Lenne does. Then zoom in on audience to see the reactions. "Is the old man having a stroke?"

 

[chinarice]

I liked Lenne more

This next comment may piss off some old farts but here we go: The best Buffer at announcing is Bruce and it's not even close. Michael Buffer is absolutely terrible. He's made his life based on one line but outside that one line, his announcing ability is garbage. I remember thinking he was the best as a kid but looking back, he's not good.

Did you see the way Buffer left Tuivasa hanging with the fist bump on the last card? Then gave him a double for the “Bam Bam” part.

I still like Joe Martinez the best. He’s not over the top. And his pronunciation of names, and places is great.

The worst is Jeff Houston from BKFC. He’s Buffer levels of annoying cranked up a few notches, imo.

Lenne Hardt all the way for me, but I'm 100% biased as a Pride fanboy.

If I was to compare them fairly based on only audio, I'd say that both are perfect for the product each promotion is trying to provide. It would be weird if Lenne Hardt was doing UFC and vice versa. Pride/Japan is an enthralling show start to finish, and the theatrical antics of Lenne Hardt play into that perfectly.

However, there is an issue.
Bruce Buffer works in audio form, because the UFC is all about no frills straight to business, putting the fighting first, leaving no place for pageantry.
At least, that's what Dana would say.
And that excuse starts to fall apart the more you think about it given the way that they use Bruce Buffer as an on-screen personality in contrast with Lenne Hardt's unseen audio only presence.

All business super serious no-spectacle UFC gives endless screentime to fancy pants wearing spin jumping fist bumping hype dancing Bruce Buffer, a character that is just as much about the visual as the audio, if not more.
Just another example of the schizo UFC personality disorder AKA America can't into the balance between sports, entertainment, and spectacle

Lenne Hardt did ok in Pride fc

 

[usernamee]

Lenne in Pride, Buffer in UFC.

Lenne in UFC would be weird, and Buffer in Pride wouldn't be anywhere near as epic.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Joe Martinez is better than Bruce Buffer

 

[World eater]

I would take Martinez over both, honestly. Between the two, Hardt.

Joe Martinez is the man!

Constructive criticism of Lenne Hardt:
- Rolls "R's" way too hard/long/often
- Drawn out syllables, weird vocal cadences, and varying enunciation and emphatic volumes make it difficult to understand fighters' names, even if you know who she is announcing.

She can still be the best or worst, or somewhere in-between - maybe you appreciate, enjoy, or even disagree with the stated points. Everybody has some pros and cons, and those are her shortcomings for me, personally.

Lenne shits all over Buffer and its not even close to be fair sir.

She's the summit of Everest and he's a frozen penguin dick in Antarctica sir lol

Bruce Buffer ... fucking. sucks.

The dude should be selling knock off handbags on the strip, but instead weaseled his way into his brothers business by suing the shit out of any poor bastard that puts the words 'ready to rumble' on a fucking t shirt anywhere in the country. Bruce Buffer is a clown, and I cringe so fucking hard every time that dork climbs into the octagon and does his limbering up routine like hes about to compete at something. Blew out his ACL fucking spinning around introducing a fighter. He's the Bethe Correia of non-fighting-related MMA personalities.
