Bruce Buffer, 69, Targets 10 More UFC Years Through UFC 400

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 14

Bruce Buffer said he has no retirement plans and expects to keep announcing UFC events for at least another 10 years, extending a run that began in 1996.
UFC 400 is one milestone he has in mind; at the promotion’s current pace of roughly one major event a month, that card would land around summer 2031.
Buffer, who turns 70 next year, said he still trains like an athlete and approaches each event as if it were his first, insisting he must keep proving he deserves the job.
His next assignment is UFC 344 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, while he also broadens his profile off-camera through a new Bud Light "Fight Night Feast" campaign.
