Full Story of Bruce Buffer: Legendary UFC Announcer

Bruce Buffer is the iconic announcer for the UFC who seems to have been born for his role as the fan-favorite voice of the octagon. However, while it may feel like Bruce Buffer was always with the UFC, this isn’t the case. In fact, the first UFC announcer was Rich Goins. But the stor of how Bruce Buffer got involved with the UFC is extremely interesting and perhaps shocking, particularly when you consider that it all began by Bruce Buffer becoming reunited with his long lost half brother and iconic Boxing announcer Michael Buffer. UFC 8 was Bruce Buffer’s First UFC event as an announcer and became full time with the UFC after his iconic appearance on popular TV show friends. Bob Meyrowitz brought Bruce Buffer on as a Full Time announcer at UFC 13 and it’s been this way ever since. Hopefully we never have to stop hearing Bruce Say “It’s Time.”
