The legends have determined their status as icons of the fighting game, in which the oldest of the two brothers and sisters announced some of the greatest boxing periods of all time, while the iconic of his younger brother, 'It's Time', the slogan has become UFC fans craving for Blockbuster matches.
Fortunately for MMA enthusiasts, Buffer has just confirmed that he does not quickly retire with the UFC, so we don't have to worry about the promotion without him.
