What a family story, right? Two brothers who've scaled different peaks in the same range, Michael in boxing, Bruce in UFC. He doesn't have to charge himself up once he enters the ring because he was born for this. He makes the VIPs at ringside feel glad they dressed up. "Diamonds Are Forever." The Shirley Bassey version, not the Kanye one with just the hook that the kids prefer. The lights dim, and as he makes his way toward the ring, the speakers blast something suitably Michael Buffer. Raw energy wafts off of him in squiggly lines.Īnd now it's time for the champ. "Jump Around," by House of Pain, let's say. And so he should enter the arena to something suitably UFC, something suitably Bruce. Coming up in the shadow of a legend drove him to find his own voice, conquer his own sport, be his own Buffer. He's the challenger, after all, the baby brother by 13 years. IF THIS STORY WERE a prizefight, Bruce Buffer would get introduced first.

There was that clip doing the rounds where they’re in the gym, and McGregor says, ‘What weight do you want to do it on. That’s never a good sign when someone loses their temper like that, good promotion though. I mean, yeah he pushed him by the throat, grabbed him, whatever. “One thing he has been doing is, he has been winning the mind games with Michael Chandler. Of course, another aspect of McGregor’s approach to the fight is his infamous trash talk, which over the course of a full season of television will likely be in full swing. McGregor has packed on noticeable mass in the last two years, and has been absent from the USADA pool which tests for PED use in athletes. The “good stuff” in question is the widespread speculation that McGregor has indulged in performance enhancing drugs during his time off. He’s got to get off the good stuff and get back on the protein shakes and the porridge.” So the final card of the year, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, they still have seven months for that, so McGregor just has to get in the testing pool. I think the idea was Madison Square Garden, that’s going to be Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic, judging by what everybody has been saying online. “In terms of a timeline, what are we in now?
