"Michael Buffer is like a sip of luxury wine. Bruce Buffer is like a shot of Jack Daniels."

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

i think bruce does a bit more coke

[@danseth5775]

You forgot the quotation marks, I've also seen the old Bruce Buffer "I'm a shot of Jack " interview.

[@Unknownfollower760]

Well put

[@johnatspray]

Seems accurate

[@filipeventura2729]

Give me Jack all day, rock n roll 🤘 ahaha

[@shadyganley8877]

There will never be another Bruce or Michael they are both living legends

[@jameshughes525]

Bruce it's levels above Michael, no emotion in Michael buffer just following the script. Bruce put his heart and soul into it

[@sastck6171]

@@jameshughes525Bruce is cringe lol

[@who7950]

@@jameshughes525why compare both, both are legends in their own game

[@Jason.cbr1000rr]

It's michael hands down why do you think they get him and pay him so much for his iconic trademark phrase lets get ready to rumble? And says it in a sophisticated manner which is right cos boxing is the luxury and highest pay and inked in history, boxing is truly the best combat sport. The fighters get paid like 50x more than ufc, millions on top of millions depending how big of a name and a good of a fighter. Also there's always big celebrities, politicians etc.. who come to boxing fights. Ufc? Not so much. Still a ufc fan, casual, its great but will never beat boxing and will remain that way in history.

[@schizoposting]

@@Jason.cbr1000rr most boxing is boring as fuck

[@zach5751]

How wild is it that two long lost brothers literally both go on to be the voices of two of the biggest combat sports in history!?

[@lobo_solo214]

My goodness, 5 mins into this video and it's gotta be the most wholesome fight lore tale ever.

[@kingchief4038]

Bruce is a Badass, Frank Trigg was no joke..

[@browndapoet]

Buffers will be Buffers, legends will be legends.

[@roguesample]

The UFC will never sound the same once Bruce retires

[@bungalowwil]

Bruce > Everybody else. Always imitated, but never duplicated.

[@SizzlyChorizo]

Michael Buffer

[@TheAntManChannel]

He's going in the Hall of Fame for sure.

[@alexd2555]

Bruce Buffer is an absolute legend. With all respect to Michael, Bruce is the greatest announcer of all time.

[@SwampOperator]

An it aint even close

[@pinkyizthebrain2397]

Dont be stupid. Even Bruce admits his brother is better.

[@patrickalred2839]

Strongly disagree

[@peterc8021]

Genius guy actually…. He’s the perfect example of do what you love and you will never work a day in your life

[@daniel213141]

I wish I had listen to the first person that said that to me, .....it so true.

[@returnalnocturnal7729]

The Buffers' voices has rang throughout my soul since I was a kid watching those matches

[@jarnoboumaa]

Great storytelling. I could listen to this if it were 2 hours!

[@Laneganswake]

It's a great story with great story tellers!

[@kawaranai9743]

"EEEEEEEEEE- Don't sue me, Buff. Don't fucking sue me, Buff"

This was way better video then I thought it be

[@CherwinFlores]

We all appreciate when you're in the octagon and flexing all your voice hyping the crowd especially the warriors of the octagon "the legendary voice of the octagon" itss............... Time!!!!!

[@alanwallenda5609]

My only wish is to see Bruce. Sadly, I will never be able to being in Africa and not having the money to travel. Just watching him on TV gets me amped! I'm lucky my favorite person is on minimum 12x a year performing 15 times a night and is undefeated in giving me goosebumps making me jump out my seat and start pacing and beating my chest! Ah Bruce you are an absolute legend!!!!

[@jayr2138]

Never say never man if ddp manages to win a belt I can see them doing an event in Africa.

[@user-ko3ed8le5p]

Change your mind set...make it happen.

[@tristannolan85]

its pretty amazing to see him do it live

[@sanperchannel9560]

Thats crazy how he found out who his brother was

[@Corinaggi]

Love the fightlore mini docs! This one is my favorite.

[@JumbojayMK]

great upload never knew about the Frank Trigg story

[@jonathanzuniga3681]

What an incredible story. I can’t believe this is real life. Just, wow.

[@potlife777]

That is incredible that two long lost brothers both became iconic voices for the 2 biggest combat sports in history. One brother top level boxing, one brother UFC. Unbelievable the way god works ❤🙏

[@hakanalper5417]

Living legend

[@kentbeitel9966]

I hope Bruce Buffer makes it into the UFC hall of fame 🤘👊 what an amazing story! I love this series, the animation is dope

[@master_zar]

In the old days you can have a good fight and then have a beer with the guy afterwards. Ahh I miss those days.

[@filipeventura2729]

I was "lucky", in Portugal early 00s there was a Tv channel who bet on "out of the box" programming for younger people that included UFC. At the time it was seen as crazy but my father got me into Martial Arts as a kid so since im about 10 i watch it. Long story short, i grew up listening to Bruce! It brings a nostalgic feeling like very few and its a crucial part of the overall experience! It will be one of the saddest days in MMA history when we are not greeted with his beautiful, captivating and passionate announcing. Truly the Goat, who made it iconic to be him. 🖤

[@crush4063]

Imagine getting your check for yelling it’s time into a mic

[@markky3050]

Could you imagine if that damaged his voice? I can't even imagine how much his trademark voice is insured for. I bet its a fucking ton though!

[@Ivantheterrible81280]

A man before HIS time. Bruce isn’t a thing, he’s a man.

[@plutothree1]

It was a play on words, bro...think before you type.

[@benediktotto6191]

This is probably one of the best videos I've ever watched.

[@DanielMartins-og2gj]

It's Time it's time... it's VADER TIME

Wild story. More of this UFC!

[@Babe.Ruth.In.Beirut]

I love these Fightlore shorts. They’re very well done.

[@badger297]

These are some of the best fight related content on youtube 👏 Seen em all multiple times. Thank you for making these available. The animation and narration is so good. Thank you

[@thedogrunner]

Amazing video. Loved every minute.

[@vetoland92]

Crazy to think that Michael and Bruce may have never met each other if he hadn't joined the army

[@bataiolympian6995]

Bruce is legendary UFC ring announcer. Greeting from Vietnam. 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

[@hankthetank8039]

Dana just watching the elevator fight unfold with a big smile on his face is why Dana's the best, a fight fan through and through.

[@dnbjedi]

So much respect.

This series is amazing! ❤

[@zoluhwa3508]

Bruce buffer fighting frank trigg.....yep, he deserve to be in that octagon, respect

[@iwatchsecurity2458]

This was great🔥💪🏼💪🏼

[@TheSlim2none]

Whenever he leaves it’s going to really hurt the ufc. No one has his charisma for the big fights like him.

[@livingstone8347]

Brilliant story.

[@Royal_tee_]

The greatest of all time.

[@josephlopez141]

best one yet. also, please make a movie

[@ericnoland9831]

Coolest part of it all is how Bruce and Michael developed the relationship they have to each other after losing out on so many years of not knowing each other. Then help elevate each other's careers becoming the most recognizable voices in combat sports while becoming richer than they ever imagined!!!

[@EL-CUCUY310]

The MAN!

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

how tf do you trademark 5 words and go on to make 400mn bucks from it??

[@80srocknroller]

"IT'S TIME!!!"

[@skyrider4789]

Man, after years of being a an MMA & UFC fan, and only hearing him announce, I didn't recognize his speaking voice! 📣😆 Didn't know about their history either. So cool.

I love Bruce Buffer, without him the ufc won’t be the same. Make a clone of him asap or never retire and keep working for the ufc coz there’s no one like you, no replacement

Man went to college to get a degree in Yellology.

[@402Racing]

How old is this? He is missing a bunch of events by now, they have Joe Martinez doing events along Buffer.

[@SASBurner]

he doesnt miss ppv events. why would he announce shit at the apex

[@Ivantheterrible81280]

Those of you who are upset about fighter pay, Bruce makes more than almost all the fighters on the roster just for saying a few words. Just saying…

[@Nonegiven14582]

Poundshop Michael Buffer. The best guy is Jimmy Lennon jnr

[@SwampOperator]

Im sorry, i know Michael is a legend. But in my opinion, he cant even tote bruce buffers jock strap

[@bungalowwil]

Shouldn't it be "A man before HIS time?".

[@muhammadwahyuhidayat21498]

It means is "It's Time" by Bruce Buffer

I don't think you know how play on words work

[@bungalowwil]

I do, but I missed this one.@@michaelhauser6440

UFC is literally incapable of doing one single thing, unless WWE has already done it.

[@alejandrodiaz-fw4tz]

1st,,😁

[@paying-for-free-speech]

The story about buff fighting trigg doesn’t ring true to me at all, seems like all parties involved are lying.

[@patrickalred2839]

Bruce is passionate but he would never be in the position he is in if it wasn’t for finding his brother Michael, he rode his coattails til he got an opportunity and fortunately for him the UFC took off

[@IgorGutman]

Is Bruce Buffer Jewish? No?

[@Chronikstyles303]

It's time for what ?

[@Chronikstyles303]

It's time is TERRIBLE MAN There could be a million tiles better phrases to start a fight

[@kawaranai9743]

Nah dude the hype that phrase creates is amazing

[@michaelreimer6055]

I like the guy but his ego is out of control. I’m surprised he doesn’t refer to himself in the third person
