HELLO!!!!!
The classy Jimmy Lennon Jr. 8) vs. Uuuummm! Michael Buffer (sounds like a name of a gay porn star. Right baggins? ;D )

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' ;D
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)

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. ;D

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.

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.

no in the early ufc's mike did it, he must have threw his bro a bone and gave the gig to him

Actually Bruce was Michael's manager and got him the ufc gig but there were contract problems becuase Michael was already tied to wrestling. Bruce then took over the UFC.

More than that though he copyrighted Michael's 'Lets Get Ready To Rumble' trademark and made them both a fortune. Bruce's Buffer Enterprises has made around half a billion pounds through licensing Buffer's voice.

Jimmy for me. Sounds, looks like his dad. Met Buffer a few times, he's ok too. Buffer is almost plastic at times like a ken doll(remember your sister had one of these til you pulled it's head off).
