Bruce Anthony Buffer (born May 21, 1957, in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is the main octagon announcer for Zuffa main events.[citation needed] On UFC broadcasts, he is introduced as the "Veteran Voice of the Octagon." He is the half brother of the well-known boxing and wrestling ring announcer Michael Buffer, and is President and CEO of their company "The Buffer Partnership". Both Michael and Bruce are grandsons of late boxer Johnny Buff. Buffer holds a black belt in Tang Soo Do and has fought as a kickboxer.
Buffer always begins each PPV with the phrase "Ladies and gentlemen, we...are...live!" Before each main event Buffer proclaims, "This is the main event of the evening," followed by "This is the moment you've all been waiting for," and finally, "It's time!" before introducing the final two fighters.
Along with his catch phrases, Buffer has a signature move, which he has called the "Buffer 180" where he motions directly across the Octagon before quickly spinning 180° and pointing to the corner being introduced. Buffer performs 45° and 90° turns before most fights[citation needed], but reserves the "Buffer 180" for main events and co-main events. At UFC 100, Buffer performed a "Buffer 360" during his introduction of Frank Mir v. Brock Lesnar. Buffer vowed he would never do the "Buffer 360" again. Regardless of this vow, he's stated on his radio show on the Sherdog Radio Network, that he might perform the 360 in "the spur of the moment." He also performs the "Buffer Bow" exclusively for Randy Couture, in which he bends down as a knight would to a king in the accolade.[citation needed]
Parece que fue ayer
cuando te vi aquella tarde en primavera
parece que fue ayer
cuando las manos te tome por vez primera
Soy tan feliz
de haber vivido junto a ti por tantos años
soy tan feliz
de disfrutar algunas veces tus regaños
Parece que fue ayer
Yo era tu novia y me llevabas de tu brazo
Parece que fue ayer
Cuando dormida yo soñaba en tu regazo
Soy tan feliz
pues sigues siendo de mi vida la fragancia
en nuestro amor nunca ha existido la distancia
que Dios te guarde por hacerme tan feliz
Soy tan feliz
de haber vivido junto a ti por tantos años
soy tan feliz
de disfrutar algunas veces tus regaños
Parece que fue ayer
yo era tu novia y me llevabas de tu brazo
parece que fue ayer
cuando dormida yo soñaba en tu regazo
Soy tan feliz pues sigues siendo de mi vida la fragancia
en nuestro amor nunca ha existido la distancia
que Dios te guarde por hacerme tan feliz
