Bruce Buffer is one of the most known voices in the world of combat sports. He has been the voice of UFC for over 25 years now and is loved by the fans.

But working with the UFC is not the only thing he’s involved in. Buffer is an agent/manager of his brother, Michael Buffer. His brother is also an announcer, but for boxing. He is famous for his catchphrase, ‘Let’s get ready to rumble.’ Bruce Buffer has also invested in a few drinks. One of them is ‘Puncher’s Chance.’ It is a bourbon whisky, in which Bruce Buffer is heavily involved.

When asked about the whisky and how involved he is in it, he said, “We’ve won six gold medals for the finest tasting bourbon in America. Three gold medals for the finest design bottle. I have the bottles made in France. I’m very heavily involved, I’m a partner in the company. I’m involved in all the marketing and the decision-making process.”

“Right now, we are the fastest-selling, highest-rated craft distilled bourbon in America. Conor McGregor, you can sell your Proper 12 and still hang on. I’m gonna beat that sale. Watch what I do in the next five years,” he added.

Along with the investment in Puncher’s Chance, Buffer has also invested in an energy drink called It’s Time. It’s based on his famous catchphrase, ‘It’s Time.’
