Octagon announcer Bruce Buffer is willing to work at UFC 249 on April 18 \u2014 provided the UFC can find a location for the card and ensure the safety of staff and fighters during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cI stand on the basis that, if there\u2019s an event announced \u2013 based on the location, the safety factor of everybody involved, how we\u2019re being tested, whatever, all the obvious \u2013 if there is such a word anymore, a completely safe thing to do, then let\u2019s do it. Right?\u201d Buffer told MMA Junkie.<\/a> \u201cObviously there would not be an audience; we know that.\u201d<\/p>\n While Buffer is down to do his thing at UFC 249, he claims to have no idea what is going on with respect to the April 18 card, which was originally slated to go down in Brooklyn, but still doesn’t have an official location.<\/p>\n \u201cGuys, I have no idea about anything. I\u2019m a media mercenary,\u201d Buffer said of the UFC 249 situation. \u201cI always joke around and say my lifestyle is kind of like James Bond. I don\u2019t have to kill anybody, but I get the call, and I gotta put the tuxedo in the bag. \u2026 All kidding aside, I don\u2019t know, guys. I mean, I could get the call five days before it happens, and then I make that decision. But am I willing to? Of course.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know me,” the UFC announcer added. “I\u2019ve done shows with one leg; I\u2019ve done three shows in a row, blown-out back. You guys know that I will never ever not go in that octagon. But we have a bigger picture to consider. And the powers that be, I know Dana. I\u2019m sure every day\u2019s gotta be a new day for Dana with all that he\u2019s gotta deal with. He\u2019s trying to provide the entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n Do you think we’ll see Bruce Buffer in action at UFC 249, or will the card fizzle out like so many other sporting events have?<\/p>\n This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0on 4\/3\/2020. <\/i><\/p>\n
