Bruce Buffer has been the iconic voice of the octagon for close to two decades now. Buffer’s voice and introductions are something that people often try to imitate. The most recent example of the same being hollywood star, Mark Wahlberg.
The 52-year-old took to Instagram to thank Bruce Buffer for his gift. Buffer sent the hollywood star a few bottles of his award winning bourbon Puncher’s chance. Wahlberg imitated Buffer’s announcement style while announcing the product. He then went on to thank Buffer for his gift and wished him happy holidays as well. In response to the same, Buffer shared the view with a caption that said,
“Thank you @MarkWahlberg!Great to see you’re enjoying my @PunchersChanceBourbon Big Cheers & Happy New Years Champ #ItsBourbonTime.”
Buffer launched Punchers chance in 2020 as one of his many endeavours outside of announcing for the UFC. According to the website the term name was chosen keeping in mind the deep roots of both Bruce Buffer and his brother in combat sports. The term “Puncher’s Chance” is a boxing allusion, meaning that nearly everyone can land a knockout blow, regardless of the circumstances, especially if they do so with flawless balance.
Buffer is one of the many celebrities that have launched their own line of alcohol brands. Dana White is also involved with an alcohol brand. Despite multiple ventures outside the UFC, Buffer remains a key figure in the company. Let’s take a closer look at Buffer’s history with the UFC.
