His problem is there is no crescendo. A real lack of dynamic range.

Listen to other announcers. They will make you miss Buffer. Most sound soooooo cheesy. I much prefer his over the top personal signature style to the cheapo Las Vegas used car dealership vibe.
The Japanese guy + Pride lady were great though.

The other buffer is worth an estimated 400M. I’m sure he doesn’t give a shit what people think but most consider him the goat announcer.

Yeah, and he was gone way before Frank was in UFC
I know someone who went on a blind date with him shortly after he got the UFC gig. She did not have nice things to say about him.
Personally I would rather listen to Bruce do every intro in his way over the top style then listen to those retarded assholes in the audience who constantly make that stupid noise that sounds like a gay owl.

lol took u a few years
He plays a character, of himself
The worst part of the UFC broadcasts are the long term commentators/announcers. Buffer/Rogan/DC are so bad it’s insane. It’s like they go out of their way to find the most annoying people out there and hand them a microphone
Buffer is the worst part of every ufc (at least until wmma started). He’s the appendix of the ufc: a vestigial and worthless leftover from another time that serves no purpose. Yeah back when the ufc was just a cash starved spectacle Bruce’s last name was thought to lend the ufc some status but he’s always been and remains a cheesy laughing stock. Unfortunately I’m sure Dana’s loyalty will mean we will be stuck with the clown until he strokes out in the cage at 90 years old.

I’ve told this story before but he hangs around where the fighters check in and does this his warm up like he is about to fight. Stretching his arm and legs out, rolling his neck. My boy you read from a card, relax.

A lot of old school guys would do that
Also when you are screaming for every intro by the main event it’s lost all meaning.

I literally watched a woman last night who was looking at her phone when he was going into his long winded bullshit. When he keeps going..I saw her lookup as if to say “wtf?” Haha

I don’t know if he’s over the top but he’s always been very pitchy for a ring announcer. He pushes beyond what he has the range to do. Odd choice.

He was a bad motherfucker in the UFC game for Sega Dreamcast though.
I saw on the internet he announced a wedding for somebody the way he does for the UFC…. He should be arrested for what he did. It was sickening.
