Is it just me or do all non-UFC MMA ring announcers try to imitate Bruce's style? I'd be cool with it if only they could do it as well as Bruce, which most can't.
WAR Buffer!

The guy that announced the fight on showtime did really good last night and didnt sound anything like Bruce. Had his own format and everything. Hes a famous announcer too but cant remember his name.
My favorite buffer was Micheal. The one who use to do the wrestling one back in the day...

I love Bruce but I always feel like he's perpetually second best to his older half-bro Michael. I don't blame him though, Michael has God's vocal chords and there's never been a better catch-phrase than "Let's get ready to rumbllllllllllllllllllllllle!"

This +1000. Last Saturday I watched the Klitschko vs Haye fight. Its sad but the best part of the whole fight was "Lets get ready to Rumble...." My wife is German so she knew who Klitschko was, and who Michael Buffer was... We watch MMA almost every week, sometimes twice a week and all big UFC events... She never knows who the fighters are, but she knew Buffer. That tells you how much more famous he is over Bruce. And "Its time" could use some work.... But in the MMA world Bruce is the best, except when his brother does an MMA event.

Yeah, growing up watching the Mike Tyson era heavyweight fights Michael was intrinsically linked to big time boxing in our minds and even way over here in New Zealand me and my buddies would try to emulate him.

"Its time" is one of the worst lines there is.......seriously it sounds like he put little thought into it......compare to Michael's "get ready to Rumble" ..."It's time" is laughable

is not that all announcers try to imitate Bruce, is that Bruce tries to imitate Michael and all announcers try to imitate Michael
Michael is the best!!! Bruce doesnt compare to Michael IMO
