Do you agree? Did fighters like Bader, DJ, Alvarez, and Pettis become irrelevant when they fought outside the UFC?

Well you definitely get more exposure with the UFC. I mean this is a MMA forum and I feel other promotions hardly get any coverage even here.

He is also correct.
Nobody it talking about Rory Mac, Benson, bader, etc etc

Well at least other announcers say their names correctly instead of making it all about themselves and their fruity little suits.

It’s absolutely true. The other organizations simply are not there, or anywhere near where the UFC is in terms of fighter exposure today. It’s a pretty simple truth he speaks.

The casual fans that drive the buy rates of PPVs don’t even know the lower ranked fighters of the ufc. They’re not tuning in to Bellator and don’t even know ONE exists.
Buffer is right, like it or not.
….but at the end of the day the goal is to make enough money to retire on so if someone is offering you a lot more than the ufc does then take it.

Buffer is mostly correct

Buffer is mostly correct, but guys like Bader and Corey Anderson who were unlikely to be UFC champions (or at the very least long running and popular champions, it’s possible they broke through at some point) are making more $ with Bellator. Does anyone care? Probably not…I have no idea what DJ is making, but I watched every one of his UFC fights, and the only thing I’ve seen since he left was the awesome knee to the face that the dude who looked 30 pounds bigger than him landed…and I saw that on instagram.
But DJ is likely make more $ than ever, so I doubt he gives a fuck if a random 40 year old dude is still watching his fights.

Company man. But not wrong.
Any combat sport as a very small shelf life… Buffer is 100 correct though
I could be wrong but what does relevancy have to do with getting paid? You know the thing professional fighters should be maximizing?
Many fighters have proven they are valued more outside of the UFC and I would call that a good business move. Maximizing earning potential should be the focus, not fighting for the UFC.

Bruce buffer sure loves attention. The guy truly believes he is irreplaceable
At 21:35 he won’t even chuckle over a FUNNY impression of himself, he seems insecure and threatened anytime someone questions his talent… like he’s being made fun of or something, but the guy was actually just a huge Bruce Buffer fan

Buffer seems like a cunt, never liked him from the beginning, thought the UFC was pathetic getting a hack just because his brother is the GOAT announcer for boxing, Bruce is all nasal sounding
But the fagoon didn’t go away and now I’m just used to it and hardly notice, the jumping turn thing is also gay as fuck

I don’t know why he’s still there.
He sucks and he always has.
Laura Sanko would do a better job than him and it would be cool to have a hotty like her take his spot.
