Michael Buffer explains why he uses his famous catchphrase; says it's a tribute to the great Muhammad Ali

In an interview with Yahoo! Sports in 2018, Michael Buffer revealed the inspiration behind his signature catchphrase. The 77-year-old ring announcer stated that the phrase was born when he was introducing the legendary Muhammad Ali.

He said:

"I wanted a hook to get the fans into knowing who the main event fighters are. The stars of the show. The Great Muhammad Ali used to say, 'I'm so pretty! I'm ready to rumble! Rumble, young man, rumble!'... And I kind of refined that to 'Let's get ready to rumble.'... Through the years, it became the call to arms... It’s been a great way to let people know... that you’re going to see the main event.”
