As if MMA couldn’t get more exciting, a ring announcer with the right voice and energy can act as an electric shock, jolting fans, as well as the fighters, into a state of heightened readiness. 

Whether it’s Bruce Buffer’s powerful pitch motoring MMA’s most globally recognized promotion, the infamous howl of Lenne Hardt, or any amplified tone all the way down to the local level, the talented announcers make a task as simple reading a name and several data points seem unfathomable.  

From introducing the two warriors in their respective corners for battle to sharing the official decision with the audience, a successful announcer bookends an MMA contest into history.
