Bruce Buffer: Cro Cop is like a teddy bear, and Stipe Miocic must be a role model for everyone

Buffer accepted cooperation with the Croatian platform Celegreety, which connects famous athletes and public figures with their fans. Through the platform, fans can order personalized video messages from their favorite stars, from birthday wishes to special messages and announcements, and Buffer is now among the newest names on the platform. Announced the strongest MMA promotions in the world and friendship with Croats – Mirko Filipovićem i Stipom Miočićem.

– Mirko Cro Cop is one of the most destructive and terrifying fighters who have ever entered the Octagon. But when you get to know him outside of combat, he’s like one big teddy bear. An extremely pleasant man and an extremely dangerous fighter – said Buffer about the Croatian MMA legend.

He had similar words for Mio, the former UFC heavyweight champion.

– Stipe and I are good friends. He is a great role model for both Croats and Americans. It was an absolute pleasure to announce his struggles and follow his historic success.

Buffer was in Croatia only once, on business, but he says that over the years he met and fell in love with numerous Croatian athletes. This time, the reason for coming into contact with our market is somewhat different. He sees much greater potential in Celegreety than just entertaining the fans. He believes that athletes still use their own name and relationship with the audience too little.

– All athletes should understand that their fans want to know more about them and get direct contact, and companies also want to cooperate with them. Such platforms create exceptional income opportunities that can go far beyond the classic salary they receive for playing sports. You need to think smart, why refuse additional income? – said Buffer.

As a true American, he understands business. With his brother Michael Buffer, also a legendary announcer, but for boxing, he spent decades building a business brand that exceeded the boundaries of sports.

– I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I started my first company at the age of 19. For myself, I say that I am first and foremost a marketing expert. For more than 30 years, I managed my brother Michael’s career and we built an extremely successful business.

On Celegreety are, among others, more Igor Štimac, Lino Červar, Antonija Mišura, Dominik Kuzmanović…, and the platform gathers athletes from č 13 sports.
