Following Dana White’s footsteps, UFC announcer Bruce Buffer reveals stunning gambling moment from Casino

Gambling in UFC is nothing new; bossman Dana White is especially famous for it. He is a proud recipient of the Palms Casino Undisputed Blackjack Championship Belt after all. However, Blackjack is no low tide; that too dealing all ace! Now, Bruce Buffer shines in an ultimate rare moment. Is there nothing the man can’t do? One must wonder.

A Brief Insight Into Bruce Buffer: Is The Micsman Combat Sports Trained?

If one ever wonders where Bruce Buffer gets his overtly charismatic and yet unforgiving aura from, just remember. He befriended two students of Chuck Norris in his early days in Malibu and became an acquaintance! Yeah, that Chuck Norris, who people tout, could move heaven and earth more than the “Rambos” and “Terminators” of Hollywood. There’s not much Buffer isn’t capable of, and it shows.

Of course, gambling is a fickle gig. One wins some; one loses some. Sometimes, it takes one to weird corners and realms. Dana White once got a crash course on slot machines from his friends Taylor Lewan and Steve Deleonardis of the NELK Boys while they had $43,000 on their heads! But Buffer is really the jack of world trades and the master of announcing.

That includes a combat sports background as well. When he was thirteen years old and living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Buffer first ventured into martial arts. Consequently, he was already a green-belt Judoka back then. At age fifteen, Norris introduced him to Tang Soo Do, which resembles point-hitting methodologies like Karate and fighting principles from Taekkyeon, Subak. He is a 2nd-degree black belt in Tang Soo Do.

Alongside, his social snippets are full of him training his body to the max, even at 67. Based on his experiences, Bruce Buffer has also announced for K1 and the biannual ADCC (Abu Dhabi Combat Club) submission wrestling tournament.
