Bruce Buffer has served as the UFC’s Octagon announcer and is closely associated with the phrase “It’s time,” which he delivers immediately before a featured fight begins. The call became familiar through UFC broadcasts, live events, promotional clips, and fan-made videos. Online, creators reuse the announcement as a compact countdown to competition or confrontation, even when the subject is not combat sports. Its continued appeal comes from Buffer’s unmistakable projection and the phrase’s ability to turn an ordinary setup into a main-event moment.
