UFC announcer Bruce Buffer has revealed how long he plans on staying as the voice of the promotion.
For the longest time now, Bruce Buffer has been the main man in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is the voice of the company and, in many ways, the voice of the sport, perhaps alongside Joe Rogan. He is an ever-present member of the roster and whenever he yells out “it’s time”, you know that a major main event is about to take place.
Of course, given that he’s now 68 years of age, many have questioned how much longer Buffer can continue to operate for at the highest level. His half-brother Michael, famously, is still going strong at 80, and it’s entirely possible that the same will be applied to Bruce. In equal measure, you’d have to think some new faces (or voices) will emerge in that time too.
In a recent interview, Buffer was more than happy to talk about his future, especially when asked about the possibility of him announcing at UFC 400.
“Yeah, I plan to [be around for UFC 400]. That’s the goal.“
Absolutely, no question. I’ve got to figure that would be another eight years or so. That’s my plan. Everybody’s replaceable. Just know, put it on my tombstone, I always just try to do the best job I could.”
It’s hard to imagine a world without Bruce announcing for the UFC. Hopefully, he gets to UFC 400, and perhaps even beyond that.
WTF?
“For the longest time now, Bruce Buffer has been the main man in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.”
They should replace him with that twat from pride that everyone seems to love except me.
Michael Buffer is 80? 
hahahahahahahahahahhaahha
The article seems to be inferring that, due to his age, he may be considering retirement?
I mean no offense, but it’s not like he’s been ditch digging for 30 years. Is the job really that taxing? Id assume that frequent travel is the most taxing part? In any case, I’d imagine that there are 1 million people that will stand in line waiting for such an opportunity.
I imagine a world without Bruce Buffer in the UFC all the time. I constantly fast-forward through his bellowing.
They’re going to scoop up that weird kid who goes to all the expos and ambushes fighters yelling their stats at them.
It takes time away from his cooze slaying conquests.
Thats unfortunate. He is my least favorite part of the broadcast, including cruz
He will never retire, this is his only gig. They’ll have to force him out.
This is about as real as Buffer standing toe to toe with Trigg.
So he gets free travel everywhere? Works maybe 40 hours a month? And makes god knows how much. Poor Bruce.
