Buffer Reveals Why He Created "Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!"

Legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer shared the reason behind his famous "Let’s get ready to rumble!" introduction in a special interview with Ready To Fight.

"When fighters walk to the ring, with all the energy and music we have, the fans are screaming, anticipating the moment. But then, the ring announcer kills the mood—announcing local organizers, three judges (who have to be named), the referee, and so on.

There was a time when, in big fights, we had to introduce 19 or 20 names before even getting to the fighters.

So I wanted to bring the crowd back. To give their heroes—or the fighters they love to hate, it doesn’t matter—the same energy they walked in with," Buffer shared.

The full interview will soon be available on the Ready To Fight YouTube channel.
