Media UFC could do a lot worse than giving Samantha Irvin a job

Guys wanna buy the UFC PPV this weekend? The new announcer is so young.

What a stupid take.
yeah the age aint got shit to do with it.

As long as the voice is good and the passion is there they can be 10000 yrs old.

hell i love it whenever jimmy lennon JR does his thing and hes old as fuck
 
Is Buffer retiring?

UFC seems to cater for an audience that's petrified of change (whether they are not is another matter, that's how the audience is treated) so you'd have to introduce someone new and young very, very, very slowly.

Tito Ortiz is already lined up to be Buffer’s successor. As Rogan begins to phase out, Tito will also take over post-fight interviews.
Tito deserves a chance. He's one of the greatest light heavyweights of the night.
 
I dont think the announcers have an impact on this, giving title fights based on story lines is what they need to avoid

yeah but because it worked so good for them when they did it for Pereira, they're going to keep doing it. they already signed Vakhitov in hopes he can make it happen again, they keep having rematches etc., it's lazy booking, but it's hard to get motivated if the fans eat up your lazy work.
 
I always thought Joe Martinez was being groomed for the position of Buffer’s replacement but he’s mainly on APEX cards and UFC adjacent stuff like Fight Pass Invitational and Hollywood Fight Night.
 
I can’t wait for Buffer to go. Events will be at least an hour shorter without him.
 
Judging by the lack of pictures in the OP and the lack of demand for pictures in the responses..I guess we aren’t talking about a looker
 
Buffer sounds fine and gets everyone excited for these fights.

My only complaint is how long his intros are for early Prelims and Prelims. He could reduce those by 40%.
 
The thing about Martinez is, sure objectivley he has a better voice than Bruce. Most do. But Bruce whips the crowd into a murderous frenzy, Martinez is never gonna be that guy.


Irvin is an unusual unique and supremely talented passionate commodity and thats whats needed to fill in large hole the buffman is gonna leave behind.
Did Martinez announce for WEC? I think he can be that guy if given time.

I also loved the old man who did showtime back in the day. Can't remember his name but he did boxing and strikeforce
 
She doesn't want to be an announcer and she is a bad announcer, not because she has a bad voice in fact she deserve more than just being an announcer and she knows it so she overreacts and makes silly voices so she can stick out
