The Buffer 360
There were a lot of memorable moments at UFC 100, but one that particularly delighted Rogan was talking Bruce Buffer into doing what would become known as ‘The Buffer 360’.
“We planted the seed in his head, sh*t, it must have been about a year ago.” Rogan said in video during fight week. “We talked to him about possibly going from a 180 to a 360 – could he do it?
“Well that crazy mother*u*ker went home and actually practiced it!”
Rogan’s constant peer pressure worked and sure enough, during the intro to the main event between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir, Buffer jumped to a 360 and landed safely, much to Rogan’s amusement.
It could all have gone horribly wrong though. Years later Rogan revealed that another time while jumping up and down yelling his “It’s Time!” catchphrase in the Octagon, Buffer actually blew out his ACL, and he managed to do it again on-stage while miming to a rock song at the UFC 200 fan expo.
Nevertheless, though he has fears that “he’s getting up their in age,” Rogan still has aspirations to have Buffer level up his move to a full 720!
