I kind of like Bruce better as well, but Michael's more polished and has a better voice, IMO.

Give me Bruce. He creates a better atmosphere.

Only one of these men kicked Frank Trigg's ass.

Jesus, mang. Bruce is so corny.

The question should be, "are you a UFC fan or boxing fan?" Cos the answers are falling down that line.

Yes, Bruce is kind of corny, but he does show a lot more energy and enthusiasm, so I'd give the edge to him.

I think Michael Buffer is by far the better announcer. That being said, I'm a bigger MMA fan so i enjoy Bruce Buffer more.

Michael and it's not even close. He makes it look easy. People interpret Bruce not making it look easy as showing more energy. To me, if Bruce could announce like Michael, I think he would.

^I've seen Bruce talk about his style and he doesn't want to mimic anyone. He is proud of his own voice/moves and hopes future announcers try to make their style unique.

Michael is better. Much better. No comparison at all.

Bruce sounds like an average dude off the street. I respect the guy and his trade, but his voice doesn't have that commanding and confident uniqueness that annoucers "should" -- in my opinion-- have.

I even like WWE wrestling annoucer, Howard Finkel, a lot more than I do Bruce Buffer.

Michael Buffer for sure. I like the Howard Finkel shout out also.

Mediocre singers say the same thing, but you can bet your ass that if Kelly Rowland was given the choice between hers and Beyonce's, she'd ask to sing like Beyonce. (for the record, I think the gap between Michael and Bruce is much greater than my example)

Eh I don't really agree with that example. :)

Michael Buffer easily. And I'm a bigger MMA fan. I could care less about boxing. Bruce just isn't that good.

Michael has the naturally bigger voice. Bruce sounds like he's trying too hard to make his voice sound bigger.

Michael is "better" but I love the energy/enthusiasm Bruce has. Especially when guys like Dan Hardy are fighting and interact with him.
