The long-tenured veteran UFC announcer Bruce Buffer is a familiar name in the world of MMA and his voice is not unknown to the UFC community. The iconic voice of the octagon has introduced UFC fighters to fans all across the world nearly every week. Buffer seemingly has some competition but he is an aspiring ring announcer who recently signed with Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred FC promotion. Colby Covington Threatened After Racial Insult
The aspiring announcer went viral earlier this year by approaching Masvidal at an autograph signing event. He gave an impromptu introduction to the former UFC welterweight title challenger that sounded very similar to Bruce Buffer.

Bruce Buffer warns Jorge Masvidal
During an appearance on on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Bruce Buffer reacted to his impersonator’s success, wishing the man well. However, he also sent a warning regarding his signature “it’s time!” catchphrase:
“I think he’s maybe 60 percent near what I sound like… And I tell you what, I’ll give him the little award for the balls to walk up to the fighters and do all that… I understand they gave him a job and I thought that’s great. I’m happy for him. Success breeds competition and competition breeds success and I’m the first one to want to see everybody be successful, okay? But I told Jorge [Masvidal], I said, ‘Listen, give him a little message from me… When it comes to him and it comes to your promotion, make sure he doesn’t say it’s time or we’re gonna have to have a conversation.'”
