UFC announcer Bruce Buffer delivers signature introduction at 2025 Preakness Stakes
UFC octagon announcer Bruce Buffer took his talents to horse racing for the 150th running of the Preakness Stakes.
The 2025 Preakness Stakes took place Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, and just moments before the jockeys mounted their horses, Buffer took the mic to deliver a signature UFC-style introduction, complete with an emphatic, "It's time!"
Check out Buffer's full introduction below, which was broadcast live just prior to the race (via X):
The Preakness Stakes took place Saturday during UFC Fight Night 256, which took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Buffer typically has the night off for UFC Apex shows these days, having not announced an event at the venue since June 20, 2024, for UFC on ESPN 60. In his place, Joe Martinez handled the octagon announcing duties.
As far as the horse race itself, pre-race favorite Journalism won with a thrilling late charge, bursting through two horses coming out of the final turn, and then passing Gosger, who led most of the race, at the last possible moment.
