Frank Stallone would be champ with just a few weeks or training. in any division.

Bill Simmons is a idiot BOXING FAN that dislikes MMA taking over their glory.
This is an biased moron talking just to let everyone know.

So what if he was bragging his BROTHER is a millionaire. Doesn’t mean that his brother gives him any money.

If Bruce Buffer was from Boston, Simmons would have been under the table sucking him dry and asking for more.

Absolutely he would. I don’t know if anyone takes his opinions seriously. He’s so biased for Boston it makes me sick.

what I read at fightopinion just sounds like Bill is hating on him.

“Today, Buffer Enterprises Inc. has grossed retail sales of over $400,000,000 through licensing of the “Let’s Get Ready To Rumble®” trademark. Some of the company’s many successful ventures include the “Ready 2 Rumble Boxing” video game franchise by Midway, Rumble Robots by Trendmasters, “Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Ring” by Manly Toy Quest, WCW Wrestling toys by ToyBiz and the “Ready to Rumble” movie by Warner Bros."

Must be a slow news day if this made it up…

Mania, any word on a date for the second WEC show of 2008? The first one is February 13, and they are having 6 events in ’08. That would make me think one event every other month. That would put the event in April. I am expecting Faber vs Pulver to headline their 2nd card of the year.

FYI. Bill Simmons NFL picks against the spread for the season:
91-93-9

Which means a blindfolded monkey would do better than him. Even his wife picks games better:
100-84-9

Did anyone see Bruce at the WSOP this year? We made it pretty far for an ametuer. He might have even been in the money.

Going after the ANNOUNCER? Surely an established well paid reporter has something better to do…

I would hardly call him a reporter. He’s a know-it-all blogger who got his blog picked up by ESPN.com, which seems to think that the entire country gives a rat’s ass about Boston sports.

So true… nothing left to say regarding this idiot.

The second gal from the left is being crotch grabbed by the third gal from the left… amazing stuff.

I hate to ruin your fantasy, but that’s her own hand. The third chick with the floppy hat has her arm bent and her hand by her shoulder.

Y’all are pretty sensitive. The dude met the UFC ring announcer and though he was a dick and you guys are acting like he shit all over the sport. Calm down, he’s not calling out MMA, the sport is safe.

Why did you have to go and ruin it!

Damn… feel like I was the only here to not see it LOL.

Ok, but then she’s grabbing her own crotch… so it’s a bit hot anyway.

The 400 mil claim is completely legit. So is the claim that it was Bruce’s idea to trademark “LGRTR”. I won’t say it! Alright, heck…. HEY BRUCE! COME AND GET ME!!

LLLLLET’S GET READY TO RRRRRRRRRRR uh er um….ramble?

This Simmons guy should try Google sometime, that’s all I did.

Simmons doesn’t say anything negative about MMA. Yes, his pro-Boston agenda gets on my nerves most times, but he says nothing wrong here. Hell, Bruce Buffer is orange for god sake. Any man that spends that much time in a tanning bed deserves to be picked on.

Bruce Responded to this on the UG earlier:

http://mma.tv/TUF/index.cfm?ac=ListMessages&PID=2&TID=1183922&FID=1&pc=26

“I remember this… I had just got back from an appearance with Michael that he made after the Hatton fight and decided to relax for an hour at the poker table before going to sleep and was really looking forward to some good relaxing poker play… then people start asking me questions, etc. about the “Rumble” phrase, like do you have that trademarked, etc. and UFC questions of course.

Believe me I was so tired I would of rather’d stayed at the poker table and hopefully taken their cash than have left for the sudden call for an appearance request which I actually tried to get out of and finally agreed to on my cell phone at the table… guess a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.

Maybe I’m just a little too polite and respectful of others when they talk to me… Didn’t hear the Podcast but hopefully they got some good radio out of it and made themselves sound & look great and belittled me in the process as best as possible… always makes for good radio… LOL!

Happy Holidays to all on the Forum!

“Big Cheers & No Fears for 2008!”

Bruce Buffer

P.S.- Kirik is right… if it was legal to do, old good Western justice is a great way to make a point… but we all know we can’t do these kinds of things properly outside of the Octagon… LOL again. "

if anyone involved in the UFc should be getting ripped it should be Mike Goldberg. That guy has zero knowledge of MMA which is why he is alwaysd asking Rogan what about this and what about that. Down with Goldberg

i think ben stiller should make a movie based on the super stressful but financially rewarding industry of announcing fights. kinda like zoolander, but making fun of the buffer bros instead of male models.
