UFC Vegas 70 is scheduled to take place on February 25 at the UFC Apex facility, in Las Vegas. The event, headlined by a lightweight fight involving Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann, is inching closer, and the preparations for the event have reached their zenith. While the fighters break their sweat on the mat, the UFC announcer Bruce Buffer adopted an old-school method. The famed announcer, who saw the rise and success of the UFC, is integral to the promotion’s events. Not only the ring announcer introduces the fighters before their fight but also declares the results. Besides, his catchphrase remains deeply ingrained in the viewers that once became a legal dispute. Notably, the fans will witness the 65-year-old’s flair this coming Saturday as he undergoes a ‘Rocky style’ training.

The UFC personnel took to his Instagram handle as he posted an unexpected clip of him pulling a bench press training regime. Further, the ‘Veteran Voice of the Octagon’ informed the fans he had a week of varied training sessions.
