Id love the UFC to release the mic’d audio from me. I literally screamed out at that ending, first time in 20 years. It was an automatic reaction I guess. I’m still speechless. Still have goosebumps. Both of these guys are the epitome of our sport. Sheer class. What a privilege.
People ask if I rehearse before a show, which I never do. I like to warm-up in the Octagon to be ready to roar, especially before the Main Events such as here at UFC 288. When I'm about to announce our Octagon Warriors I put myself mentally and physically into my own Bufferzone mode to give them all the passion and energy I can to take them to a higher level than they already are while blocking out all around me allowing me to solely focus on the fighters when I go face to face with them looking into their eyes of the tiger.
