A fight announcer is a professional who introduces fighters and provides commentary during combat sports events, such as boxing or mixed martial arts (MMA). Their role is to engage the audience, build excitement, and ensure that viewers understand the context of the match. They often provide background information about the fighters, including their records and fighting styles. In addition to announcing the fighters, a fight announcer may also describe the action as it unfolds in the ring or octagon. This includes calling out significant strikes, takedowns, and other key moments. Prominent fight announcers, like Bruce Buffer and Michael Buffer, are known for their distinctive styles and catchphrases.
