Bruce Buffer has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss UFC 267
Bruce Buffer tested positive for COVID-19 just a week before this weekend's UFC 267 event in Abu Dhabi. Buffer hasn't traveled to Fight Island with the rest of the promotion's personnel and has stayed back in the United States.
Joe Martinez will now serve as the ring announcer for this Saturday's blockbuster card in Buffer's absence.
The 'Veteran Voice of the Octagon' told renowned MMA journalist Ariel Helwani that he will return to work next weekend for UFC 268 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
"I just finished my 14-day quarantine and feeling like myself again and will be ready to roar off Madison Square Garden next week. Much appreciated. My 25-year plus Cal Ripken streak is over but doubt it will ever be beaten. Like Dana [White] said, it would take a bullet to keep me out of the octagon but Covid got me first."
Checked in with the legend @brucebuffer to see how he is feeling. He isnβt going to work UFC 267 because he got COVID.
