Bruce Buffer’s customised suit at UFC 200 is the talk of the internet

Fresh to death

With three first round finishes during the Fight Pass prelims, we found ourselves with plenty of time on our hands so typed Bruce Buffer into Twitter’s search bar… as one does.

The UFC’s beloved ring announcer broke out all the stops for the promotion’s landmark UFC event with a suit that set the internet alight.

Buffer, who you may remember brought smiles to many with the famous ‘Buffer 360’ at UFC 100, celebrated this huge occasion by getting a customised suit jacket made.

He proudly showed off personalised ‘It’s Time!’ stitching on the back of his collar to reporters at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

And, as Jim Miller, Gegard Mousasi and Joe Lauzon each wrapped up victory inside five minutes, the internet joined us in doffing their collective cap to Buffer’s stylish effort.

And in spite of the stellar fights going on later on Saturday night, not least Brock Lesnar’s high-profile return against Mark Hunt, fight fans could not help but give props to the veteran voice of the Octagon and his slick style.
