“It's hard to put a price on a life's work.”
“Superman walks around with an 'S' on his chest. I walk around with a 'P' on my chest, and that P stands for Passion.”
“I just want to do the best job I can and make the fans excited and make everyone excited about the UFC.”
“I like to go out there and be organic and improvise off the energy I feel from the crowd, whether it's 50,000 or 20,000 or 10,000 people in the audience.”
“My brother happens to be the greatest announcer in sports and entertainment history.”
“When there's a decision and it was a close fight, you build up the drama. I announce the first two scores, and then I have a count in my head, right up to the point where everyone is on the edge of their seats thinking 'Come on!' and then I hit them with it.”
“When a little kid comes up to me and asks for an autograph, that's the most amazing compliment I can even imagine.”
“Every day is a constant re-evaluation, but it's also a new experience.”
“Every day I wake up I look in the mirror and I say to myself, 'It's time.' The reason for that is I believe we're only as good as today.”
“I was invited to have a private sparring session with Royce Gracie. This was 1992, a year before the first UFC. It was just me and him in a room on the mat.”
“You can't announce the way I announce if you're not into it.”
“I take care of myself.”
“When I first started with the UFC, that classic saying of spectacle over sport was very, very true. I believed in the sport, I believed in what I was doing and I believed in the people behind it.”
“I am an avid surfer, collector, reader, movie buff and am very health conscious, so I work out all the time and I love being with my loved ones when I am not traveling.”
“One fight I would love to see, I have always loved to see, but I doubt it will ever happen, is Georges St-Pierre and Conor go at it. I think it would be a huge mega fight.”
“To me it's not about how much money you make or the car you drive, it's about what kind of person you are and how much pride you take in what you do. I try and apply that same level of passion to every path I choose in life.”
“To me, all business is the same it's just the product that's different and you can have a diamond in your hand, but if you don't market it correctly, it just becomes another piece of coal.”
“I mean, I would love to announce with my brother, Michael Buffer. That would just be an incredible thing to do and we'd have a blast working together.”
“I've been into martial arts since I was 12. I had black belts in a style called Tang Soo Do, and also I kickboxed for a number of years.”
“I saw this man come out. This very handsome, debonair James Bond style man with an incredible voice. All of a sudden I'm becoming a fan and then he started putting his name on the TV screen and it said Michael Buffer and I thought 'are you kidding me?'”
