UFC: Bruce Buffer Has To Go

I swear — if I have to hear Bruce Buffer attempt to be his brother one more time I’m going to get violent. I am sure he’s a nice guy and everything, but he is without a doubt the worst announcer I’ve ever heard in my life.
His voice is painful to listen to; it causes hatred and anger to boil within me. At first it’s funny (he looks like Bill Murray’s character in Caddy Shack), but then after hearing it a few times it becomes the smell of burned popcorn.
For the love of God, will these people please get a new announcer? Just because his brother has a voice doesn’t earn him the right to torture millions of people. All the training and voice excercises have done nothing to help the guy; he needs to find something else to do.
It was fine when the UFC was just starting out — cool, he’s Michael Buffer’s brother — but now that it’s legit and becoming mainstream, they need to get someone in there that doesn’t cause physical discomfort in his listeners.
