I'm a die hard UFC fan but when I was growing up who the hell didn't know "Let's get ready to rumble" and now Bruce with "It's time" I get so pumped to watch a fight. You can say who's better but it you have to respect what they do respectfully for both sports
I'd say "lets get ready to rumble" is more iconic and is a more family friendly announcement. It sounds regal and carries a sense of importance with it. It's not something you can shout though. I feel "it's time" is the more electric announcement of the two that you and your buddies would shout out in unison. It's simpler, so it's more versatile. It's less recognizable in writing, though with no exact descriptor like "rumble".
@@blackmanwhitesuit I feel like you can't compere them because it's two diffrent worlds and two diffrent styles I watched somthing on Michael Buffer his story growing up and how he met Bruce who became his maneger and also became the legendary announcer for the UFC and it was said that Michael's style is a glass of bordeaux and Bruce's style is (in the best way, of course) a shot of Jack Danials! but you are right about "IT'S TIME" everyone is annoucing along with Bruce at that momant!
@@bellereinette2938/videos You say they're beyond compare, but then you set up an analogy that perfectly fits my point. Michael's line is something you enjoy listening to and Bruce's style is something you shout out with the guys in the pub. They fit their audience. I find both enjoyable.
@@heisenberg550 Michael was put up for adoption and a few years later his father started another family and didn’t get reunited until after he started his career and around the time him and Bruce met Bruce had just become the announcer for ufc it’s crazy how stuff works out
There's an interesting story on how they met actually. Bruce's brother was taken away and adopted because his family couldn't look after him any longer due to a disease that he suffered with called "Ijustmadeyoureadthisfornoreason"
He's so different than his brother! I was lucky enough to meet to Bruce Buffer at a hotel in Sydney and he was sooo fuckin cool! He was wearing normal clothes, with his normal voice eating take-a-way pizza!
So much class man, I was born in 91 and when he was hyping the matches I would always yell " LLllllleetttsss get ready to rumbleeeeee!!!" along with him. The Irony too, that I became a UFC fan in middle school and now I'm screaming "Iiitssss Tiiiimmmeee!!!" with his younger brother!
@@nohbuddy1 I like boxing but there is just something about striking in MMA. When you are a good striker in MMA you literally earned the right to stand on your own two feet.
I'm have a half-brother, same situation as the Buffer brothers, he's 35, I'm 20 and we've never seen each other. He's living in Romania, I'm living in Germany. Fate.
I like both brothers as announcers. I also believe Michael's style fits boxing better and Bruce's fits MMA better. I do lean towards Michael because he seems more natural.
Based on an accurate statement of fact? He didn't even trash Bruce you fuck. There is nothing necessarily wrong with being an attention getter, or being less "cool" cool is an attitude.
That strange that they first met when he was 49. Remember Bruce was on Joey Diaz podcast and he said that he has been working with his brother managing Michaels company.
Not sure this is a popular or trendy thing 2say,but I'v been watching Prize Fighting for over 40 yrs and have seen many an Fight with Bruce doing his thing and I always thought the "Lets get ready to ruuummble"catch phrase really layed down the a marker b4 the Fight..So long may he keep on doing what he has always been doing..
Confirming My Age You moron. You clearly can't study body language or speech. Plus, how did he bring his brother into the business when he just said they met in like their 40s/50s. Learn your facts pal
Do yourself a favor and stop watching shitty TV shows like Lie To Me... Do you have a degree on human bodily behavior? Are you an expert? There's a 99.9% you're not, so stop talking shit. A little research would tell you those facts..... Pal
I heard Bruce actually sold his catchphrase "It's time" for 400 million bucks, though I don't really know the truth of that. But he is paid $100,000 per event, and that's nothing to laugh at.
Dj_Ezhel You can say MMA is a laughing stock if you want, but people in the mainstream media talk about it. Since Floyd retired, I haven't really heard much of anything about boxing. Boxing is getting swallowed by a more exciting sport. By the way, this is coming from someone who loves boxing and has trained in it for many years. It helped my muay thai skills a lot and I've always considered it an essential skill for anyone training MMA. The fact still stands though that boxing is done. It won't be what it was ever again because all the best athletes that would have boxed will do MMA now. Party is over for boxing whether you think MMA is a laughing stock or not. As far as the idea that WWE fans are fans of MMA, I'm sure there are some. Just like how there are some WWE fans who love boxing. But make no mistake, MMA is bigger than boxing and always will be because it has swallowed boxing. Boxing fans can love MMA and fighters that have a boxing style. Kickboxing fans can enjoy seeing the boxer get kicked in the head. Grappling fans can enjoy seeing the boxer strangled on the ground and going to sleep. the fan based for MMA is incredibly diverse wheras the boxing fanbase is just people who love boxing. That kind of dynamic can't be beat by boxing. It's marketing 101. The MMA market is way larger and the MMA product will therefore out perform thr boxing product which has a fraction of the market that MMA has. It's not hard to understand.
How do you not know the story about the half buffer brothers, Bruce is his manager and took the catchphrase to new heights. They are partners to this days.
Ha ha! The interviewer didn't even know that Michael Buffer was announcing for UFC way before Bruce AND he's the one who GOT HIM INTO announcing for the UFC! And then he drops a bombshell about how they didn't meet until he was 49 and the interviewer just says, "Thank you". WTF??
So if they didn't meet until late in life, did Bruce start announcing after he met his brother? Also how did Michael feel when Bruce started in the same business? Was there any jealousy? Competitiveness? Can anyone tell me?
I'm not even near 49 yet. If I had a brother I never met, then it would be pretty hard for me to feel a connection with him. Perhaps they're not that close, and I'd be uncomfortable talking about it publicly.
Two things. Yes UFC does less numbers than boxing but has more brand loyalty and more events that means more gross at the end of the year. 2ndly, I gotta know why the Buffer brothers didn't met each other for damn near 50 years.
boxing is bigger around the world mma is good i watch only the fighters i like gsp spider silva dan hendo and cub swanson because thats my boy but boxing is my life i have to watch every fight no matter who fights

What a classy guy Michael Buffer is during this interview!
He's so different than his brother!
I was lucky enough to meet to Bruce Buffer at a hotel in Sydney and he was sooo fuckin cool! He was wearing normal clothes, with his normal voice eating take-a-way pizza!
hardassteel instead of eating in the pizza restaurant you get “Take-away pizza” so you get the pizza and take it away to a location of your preference
hardassteel take away is what we say in Australia. Take out is probably just your term for it in your country :)
Shows you how genes can give you certain things but the environment you grow up In can shape you

About the same here. Only thing is that I had the Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 video game on Nintendo 64 and now I'm a UFC fan
Michael made Bruce. He gave Bruce a job as manager/agent and then when he couldn't do the UFC he sent Bruce.
Lol Bruce is Michael's manager. Michael doesnt earn that much money in announcing boxing fights and then Bruce came
Mike is usd 400M . In boxing second only to mayweather. Check.. Bruce os a child in wealth and influence comp to Mike
Hope his and Bruce’s kids keep up the tradition.
Michael and Bruce never knew when they should first meet until Bruce said 'It's time!'.

half brothers...
what's up with the term half-brother?
Castro Eulis means when 2 brothers share only 1 biological parent...they have the same dad different moms
I wonder if they refer to each other as half?
I like both brothers as announcers. I also believe Michael's style fits boxing better and Bruce's fits MMA better. I do lean towards Michael because he seems more natural.
Jozua86
Michael is as natural as Rich Piana
