In the UFC, each fighter has their unique reasons for joining Dana White’s promotion, whether it’s for legendary fights or fame and recognition. Jordan Vucenic’s reason was quite different; he shared that his dream was to be announced by Bruce Buffer. Now, after fulfilling that dream, he’s opened up about his journey and the special moment of hearing Buffer announce his name.
Jordan Vucenic shared the story behind his Bruce Buffer tattoo in an interview. He explained that he got the tattoo as a tribute to his hometown of Corby, England. Growing up in a small town where few people made it out, he often dreamed of the day Bruce Buffer would announce him as a fighter from Corby. As per him, the tattoo represents that dream becoming a reality.
“I’m from a small place, and not a lot of people make it out from where I’m from. So I used to always say to people, imagine one day, I’m gonna have Bruce Buffer say, fighting out of Corby England. And everybody used to say you’re a dreamer. It will never happen. And the day I made my UFC debut, I had Bruce Buffer (announce my name),” he said.
A lifetime of work 👏 #UFCLondon
