Dave Doyal of Yahoo! Sports recently interviewed The Voice of the Octagon, Bruce Buffer. In the interview, Buffer breaks down his five favorite UFC matches of all-time.
Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock I, UFC 40 – “This was the first one under Dana (White) that really left you with the feeling UFC was going to make it.”
Tito Ortiz vs. Chuck Liddell I, UFC 47 – “Just the excitement around it. It built up for so long. The electricity was in the air.”
Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar, Ultimate Fighter I Finale – “The greatest example of two fighters showing heart and guts.”
Randy Couture vs. Tim Sylvia, UFC 68 – “What can you say? Randy is just incredible.”
Matt Serra vs. Georges St. Pierre, UFC 69 – “As good as Georges is, this was proof that in MMA, anyone can beat anyone on any given night.”
In the Yahoo! article we learn a few other things about Buffer
- Buffer has a black belt in Tang S00 Do
- He had a private training session with Royce Gracie back in 1992
- His take on the early days of the UFC. “”It was awful,” said Buffer, sitting at the desk in the office of his split-level home overlooking the Marina Del Rey waterfront. “There were maybe 1,500 fans there. They were just there to get drunk and see blood; they didn’t care about skill. And then I was the one who had to tell them that they weren’t going to get the main event they had paid to see because the headliner just gave himself a concussion.”
