Bruce Buffer's reunion story with Michael Buffer
The realm of combat sports, encompassing both the octagon and the boxing ring, would lack its essence without the distinct introductions from the Buffer brothers.
Bruce Buffer started his career in the octagon in February 1996, when he introduced the preliminary card, marking the beginning of his illustrious journey.
Meanwhile, Michael Buffer commenced his role as a ring announcer in 1982. Just a year later, he assumed the responsibility of announcing all boxing matches promoted by Bob Arum's Top Rank on ESPN. This role catapulted him to national recognition during a period when ring announcers were predominantly confined to local talent.
The rise to fame for these legendary announcers is an extraordinary story marked by a surprising turn of events: the Buffer siblings remained oblivious to each other's existence until a significant point later in their lives.
Before his career as a UFC announcer, Bruce Buffer unknowingly followed his sibling Michael's TV career. The revelation came when Bruce noticed the similarity in their surnames, leading to an investigation that uncovered the surprising truth of their blood connection.
The tale traces back to Bruce's father, who, amid World War II service, had a child from a brief marriage.
Raised as Michael Huber by foster parents, he retained his original surname when enlisting in the Vietnam War. The brothers' meeting occurred in 1989, and shortly afterward, Bruce assumed the role of managing Michael's career.
