Buffer 360 Fail!

Don't get me wrong I am glad it happened (more like stoked) but the UFC and Buffer made two critical errors.
- They didn't televise it. I am sure there was some fear that the vast majority of casuals would pull a WTF but for all the die hards (the people who buy most of the PPV's where Brock Lesnar is not on the card) we wanted to see this.
- Buffer did it with Brock Lesnar. Lesnar may be PPV gold but the fans that show up to these fights do not like him nor what he represents. Buffer needed to do the "360" with Georges St. Pierre. You know the guy everyone likes

It looked as bad as I thought it would. I too am glad it happened, we can all refer back to it now with fondness, like the time we tripped and fell down a flight of steps, or got too drunk and puked all over ourselves. That’s pretty much what I think of it.
I agree on both counts… to the unknowing viewer they’d think people were cheering for Lesnar, when they were in fact cheering Bruce Buffer. But I guess he felt he had to do it for the last person he was announcing in the night and it happened to be Brock.
They do need to show Bruce Buffer a lot more on the PPVs… His swish announcing is bad ass.
