Jim Miller’s UFC 300 Plans Receives a Blow as Bruce Buffer Refuses to Accept Veteran’s Demands

Bruce Buffer is an integral part of the UFC. Before the commencement of every fight, he hypes up the arena and the fans by announcing the fighter’s name with his captivating voice. And, Jim Miller, ahead of his upcoming fight at UFC 300, has a special request to the UFC announcer. The MMA veteran is set to face Bobby Green and wants Buffer to announce him as “Jim ‘F******’ Miller.”

However, this might be an arduous task, given it is a rare sight to find Buffer cursing anytime, let alone during his work. So when Buffer found out about this request and made his response known.

Will Bruce Buffer fulfill the demand made by Jim Miller?

Miller’s nickname has always been ‘A-10’, however, in a recent interview, he revealed he wanted to be called that during the fight announcements as, he stated, “Doing that in front of the T-Mobile full of fans would be awesome. I think that would get me super fired up.” Now, it appears that his desire may not be fulfilled as Buffer is a true professional, and cursing during work is not his cup of tea. He stated, “I don’t like cursing in my job. I respect Jim’s wishes. At this point, the answer is no. I’d go for Jim friggin Miller, maybe.”

It bears mention that Buffer does not completely shut down the respect but does not foresee it happening for the time being. Who knows? His mind might change. But until then, let’s look at his other desire.

Miller vows ahead of UFC 300

UFC 300 is a landmark in combat sports. The card is stacked with some formidable mix and Miller wanted to add himself to it. Subsequently, he made his desire to compete on the card known. In addition, he also made it a point to promise fans and the UFC that he would put on a hell of a show and was eager to perform.

According to MMA Junkie, he stated, “Let’s put on a show, let’s go out and entertain. I’m willing to move up in weight for that type of event. It’s not like I’m trying get my rankings up or anything like that. Particularly at 300, I would hop in at any moment if Sean [Shelby] called me for those types of fights.”
