“It’s time!” – this iconic UFC catchphrase reminds fans of only one name – the “Veteran Voice of the Octagon” Bruce Buffer. Arguably one of the biggest and most successful MMA ring announcers to grace the Octagon, he is a class apart when it comes to fighter introductions.

Bruce Buffer at UFC 300
One of the major news that made a few headlines took place when UFC veteran Jim Miller made a special request for Buffer for UFC 300.

Not surprisingly, this ended up disappointing a few fans online.
