I remember him saying he tore his ACL or something one time when he jumped up to announce a name.
I think he has only missed like 1 scheduled show for almost 30 years, yeah it’s only one day of the week, but that’s a long time to never really miss a show due to sickness/emergency/vacation.
We’re giving him shit here but it’s obvious he takes his job very seriously so whether he’s an egomaniac or people like him or not, he puts a lot of passion and energy into what he does and I think that’s what makes him unique and appropriate for the UFC product.
I think he’s a bit much too but he fits the UFC perfectly and has made some really big fights even bigger with his voice alone. It’s an important job to have and to keep his voice in that sort of condition over the years is probably difficult. He has gotten me pumped up for some of the best fights I’ve ever seen. Hearing his voice I know something exciting is about to happen. Plus I have an appreciation for people that put everything into what they do and make it a craft, that’s not as common nowadays.
I get him stretching and staying loose but he does it like the fighters do, it’s just weird. You ain’t fighting my dude you make weird faces and scream into a mic.
Buffer is hilarious. You’d think he would be this huge dork that has zero friends. Turns out this negro slays the pussy, throws down, and is the brother of the legend.
