It was 1996 at UFC 8 when a then unknown Bruce Buffer made his debut as the company’s ring announcer. He would take on the job for the next two decades and counting, as he eventually established himself as the “veteran voice of the Octagon.”
At 63 years of age, Buffer has yet to show signs of slowing down, and foresees at least another decade on the mic.
“I’m very humble about it all. I’m all about passion, everything I do is with a passion that is the reason why I announce the way I do,” Buffer said recently on BJPenn.
