I remember Michael Buffer doing some announcing with WCW for a short time. But the guy that announces UFC is Michael's brother, Bruce Buffer.

I have to go with Michael Buffer here. I think he has set the standard.

Yeah it does sound like your watching a fight form yester-year when jimmy is anouncing it, its pretty cool... but buffer everytime for me....

buffer is way better

My vote goes to Jimmy Lennon. Michael Buffer became famous because of "Let's get ready to Rumble!!!". I'd say he stole that from the great Howard Fink!

Come on do you guys not know his name?

HELLO!!!!!
The classy Jimmy Lennon Jr. vs. Uuuummm! Michael Buffer (sounds like a name of a gay porn star. Right baggins? )

Something I'd like to share with you guys.

I was at a fight about 2 yrs. ago and a friend of mine walked up to Buffer as he was standing talking to someone, when Buffer finished talking my friend asked 'Can I take a picture with you?' Buffer turned looked at my friend and walked away.
My friend yells out 'Fuck you Buffer, it ain't like your the star here'
Ever since then I've said FUCK! Buffer.

Another thing is Lennon is original his lines and way of announcing is his unlike Buffer.
Not sure if you guys know this but Buffers 1st original line was....
'Man your battle stations' Now THAT'S fwocken wack..... IMO.

Actually according to Buffer he go the 'Let's get ready to rumble' from Ali.
(So the story goes)

True that!!!


I do hate Buffer brother the one in UFC

I like them both but I liked Jimmy Lennon, Jr first. He sounds so much like his dad.

No doubts whatsoever about the worst announcer ever....that guy who did the Contender fights

That guy pissed me off so much. He's terrible. I voted for buffer. Lennon's not bad but "let's get ready to rumble" is damn near immortal at this point.

Mick, don't hate on buffer just because he's above you and your friend :P. It's hard working being eventually buried with a face thats 1/10th as old you.

I prefer Buffer, but lately he's been bugging me with these summations before reading the results. Chuck Hull All time best though

Like them both, but had to vote for Buffer.

I imagine Buffer announces everything. Can you imagine what he's like with his wife?

"for the two of us in attendance, and for the neighbours who'll watch the tape we're making on their tv....llllllllllets get ready for intercourse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Me too. Although I sometimes get irritated when Buffer stretches some guys name waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out, the "Lets get ready to rumble" before a big fight can give one goosebumps.
