What are your thoughts on the first female ring announcer in the UFC?

[SCTwins]

UFC hoping they can land themselves a Samantha Irvin.

Good luck.

I don't know much about WWE but I've heard some of her announcing and she's great.

 

[Histalian]

I like her and I’m sure Dana “vetted” her.

 

[Ares Black]

Do you have any examples of her actually announcing?

She did a couple of fights last night when Joe Martinez was out with explosive diarrhea. I'm assuming.

 

[Ares Black]

I like her and I’m sure Dana “vetted” her.

It's weird to assume that Dana White sleeps with ever single female employee.

 

[g*r*b]

Meh. She was alright as an emergency replacement but doesn't quite have the chops for a fulltime gig IMO.

Better than Sanko

Dana's Stable.

Variety in the entertainment space -- keeps the mob interested.

 

[Aluminati]

She did OK in the UFC

Didn't watch last night but that looks a lot like the chick who does the powerslap post "fight" interviews.

 

[mahavishnunj]

Does she have the "no ass" clause in her contract like all the ring girls?

I think I've heard Bruce Buffer or guys that sound like him too much where it feels out of place, but it's only announcing the fights. I think pride had a woman announcer and it was sort of iconic.

Prides female announcer was off the motherfucking heezy. One can dream about reproducing such talent, but generally speaking aside from her and the real Buffer, Michael of course, ring announcing is a formality we more often endure than celebrate:

 

[10000yearsold]

Why?

Cause your mama said so.

 

[Diggar]

I can't imagine why the gender of the announcer even matters.../shrug

It's the same lady. She does powerslap and a couple outrage/shock segments on a few of the Fox News shows.

The Pride announcer was night and day different though. She could out scream Buffer in her sleep.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

I really don’t care

 

[Clark Rogers]

That's ol Charly Caruso from WWE.

OH NO IT'S ANOTHER SIGN THEY'RE COMBINING!

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

i watched a few fights until the APEX got to me, but from what i heard, which was constant enunciation mistakes and flow, it wasn't that good. i'll give her time, but you would think the announcers they hire would be able to enunciate words like decision. i heard that one get chopped up bad.

Second sexiest female MMA announcer

 

[AZ103]

She must have sucked because I tuned in for the last few fights and she wasn't announcing it was the supposedly sick joe garcia back on the mic. The whole job is stupid. Give people there own WWE style walk outs and get rid of the antiquated hype man screaming for 5 minutes before every fight. It's a waste of time and I mute it.
