Michael Buffer has been the face of combat sports since 1996, and he has made a lasting impression on the industry. Bruce hardly misses a chance to put on a show, and his catchphrase thrills spectators eager to see two gladiators square off.

This man is a complete perfectionist and professional. This guy will fly anywhere and never miss a show, regardless of the location or proximity of the shows. He always arrives well-prepared and delivers flawless performance.”

When Buffer was thirteen years old, he started his first martial arts journey. He was a green belt judo practitioner. He moved to Malibu, California, with his family when he was fifteen years old. It was then that he became friends with two of Chuck Norris’ students and discovered Tang Soo Do, of which he presently holds a second-degree black belt.

“You’re going to get a lot more than an announcer. I’ll do everything I can to help grow the sport,” Buffer told executives, who  got his shot after being on an episode of Friends. “I feel like a girl waiting to be asked to the prom. I’ll help you build this brand, and I’ll grow with you as the announcer.”
