Michael Buffer announced on X that he will be the announcer for ‘The PRIME Card’ event, however, he did not tag Dillon Danis on his post. Buffer tagged Logan Paul, KSI, and Tommy Fury — the other main event fighters. The well-known American announcer missed Danis’ tag and the Bellator MMA fighter made his feelings known.
Buffer, who has been a ring announcer for over four decades now, will be another star attraction at The PRIME Card. The 78-year-old has been an announcer for multiple boxing, pro wrestling, and NFL events. He was even diagnosed with throat cancer in 2008 and was told that he might never be able to speak again. But he defeated the dreaded illness and got back to work.
On Saturday, Buffer announced he would be present in Manchester for the fight. He wrote, “One week to go! I’ll be in Manchester for the official weigh-in and of course on FIGHT NIGHT! CAN’T WAIT! LLLLLLET’S GO! “Let’s Get Ready To Rumble!”® @DAZNBoxing @KSI @tommytntfury @LoganPaul”
What a hater tagged everyone but me 😂 https://t.co/SOWZQaDUp9

Danis was a clear omission. Many fans even reminded Buffer in the comments that he had missed out on Danis. The MMA fighter, on the other hand, called him a “hater”.
Danis retweeted Buffer’s post and wrote, “What a hater tagged everyone but me.”
Buffer did apologize for his mistake. However, his apology contained praise for Logan Paul which again would not go down well with Danis.
