Thanks for the link.

There's just something epic about Buffer using words like "Octagon Warrior". He's kinda like power metal caught in a gentleman's body(and fine suit).

"I truly thought Chuck was going to reign supreme Saturday night and unfortunately it did not go that way… it is always hard for me to see a friend lose but Chuck is a true fighter and Octagon Warrior… he doesn’t make excuses and gives it his all and he was ready and had a great camp leading up to the fight… but when one enters the Octagon in this sport that is still so pure, especially in the UFC, one man can win on any given night and it just wasn’t his night again.
Will he retire? I do not know… should he retire? I do not know… if he does and decides to come back in a year or so will it be a big fight, it will be a MEGA fight because whenever the Iceman fights, it will always be a much anticipated fan favorite event for all to see and buy the pay per view… WHY, because he is friggin Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell and we all love him as the champion he is and for all the great moments he has brought us from the Octagon.
I only want the best for Chuck, for his family and for his health and whatever he decides, I will back him up 100%. It’s hard for me to even conceive never announcing him in the Octagon again and if that happens then so be it because I’ll be lucky enough to still have fun with Chuck on our amazing UFC international campus in which we play for many years to come."

Buffer should be careful. Such fawning adulation of the UFC in a public interview is likley to arouse Dana so much that he might try to impregnate Bruce the next time he's at the UFC International Campus.:

Bruce Buffer's opinion is about as important to me as most people on sherdog. He's an announcer and not a very good one. I suppose the reporter couldnt get a better interview

Real MMA fans care what he has to say. Go watch old re-runs of the Incredible Hulk.
