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

[Thepaintbucket]

No clue who she is and she doesn't have photos if you know what I mean.

 

[NoSmilez]

They need to hire Eddie Alvarez's wife.

 

[HHJ]

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

It worked. Cut her a check

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

What a stupid take.

Social media has an impact as well. Lots of views for Irvin announcing “Chelsea Green”.

People do watch stuff for stupid reasons too. When a new 007 film is announced, no one cares whether it’s gonna be any good, their ticket is decided by what model Aston Martin he’s driving, who sings the theme tune. Like people watched NFL just to see Taylor Swift in the crowd.

Underestimating the stupidity of people … is stupid.

Not a fan, at all

I remember when we could tell kids to take their wwe shit out of the heavies… but now it’s the same company

Unfortunately MMA needs to keep leeching onto pro wrestling in some way, shape or form because they can't get over otherwise.

MMA fans are funny. You guys can talk about hairlines and physiques of men all day but you guys draw the line at a male soap opera with acrobatics.

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.

Fantastic can't wait to find out who the "greatest fighter of the night" is.

They both need each other.

It's not a one sided relationship.

They are both promoted the same way and benefit greatly by working with each other.

The difference is, pro-wrestling fans aren't so whiney and defensive about them being so similar and catering to a lot of the same demo.

For sure some MMA fans think they are above this because they don't know MMA history. If they did they would know that the two entities have been intertwined since day one and forever and ever shall be.

To both's benefit.

She left the WWE because she didn't like being an announcer despite how good she was at it, why would she take a paycut to do the same at the UFC? I guess the lighter schedule would be a factor now that I think about it.

Really miss her in WWE.

Paycut? Don't know how much Martinez is getting, but it's well known buffer makes bank...

She might make more in the UFC.. I really don't know, and I don't think you do either

After having said the same general phrase tens of thousands of times, I wonder if it is constantly in Bruce's head? Does it anger him? Does he need to forcefully attempt to free his mind from that phrase repeating endlessly in his head all day? Does he say it in his sleep, tossing and turning like this spins? Is his worst nightmare being trapped for ever in the crescendo pitch of a title fight announcement?

 

[Ghostoftheville]

Nah we're good, we don't need the product feeling more like WWE.

Right, because Bruce isn't an over the top character in his own right. Telling viewers to expect an extra spin to his introductions. The fighters don't go out of their way to act like wrestlers. The promotions parent company also owns wwe and half of Hollywood. Or the sport spawning from pro wrestling.

Yeah, she's going to push it over the top.

 

[goOb]

Kody 'Big Mo' Mommaerts is the future.

 

[Tnellie30]

I don't know who that is.

Spoiler: 1

Because I don't watch WWE.

Spoiler: 2

Because I'm not a kid.

No one cares how uncool you are and what references you dont know.

Maybe your jabroni ass can recognize this.

I honestly think he loves it, and would do it for free.

nothing would make me happier than to see buffer move on from the UFC.

Everyone else gets more money at WWE, why would the announcers be any different, also keep in mind she is not gonna be getting the same as Buffer even if she takes his place.
