Popular trap and bass DJ RL Grime kicked the Halloween festivities into full swing with the help of Bruce Buffer this week.

Buffer, known for his iconic and emphatic UFC announcements, was used to welcome Grime to the stage and refer to him as the "Undisputed King of Halloween."

The crowd cheered as a video of the 65-year-old played across the stage before RL Grime finally made his appearance.

This isn't the only time Bruce Buffer has been used to assist somebody making an entrance. Popular US comedian Andrew Schulz asked Buffer to announce him for his comedy stand-up special INFAMOUS earlier this year.

Schulz is a major MMA fan and has appeared cageside at multiple UFC events. The comedian was most recently pictured at UFC 276 when Israel Adesanya fought Jared Cannonier.

Buffer was located up in the rafters while introducing Schulz to the energetic crowd. He said:

"And now! This is the moment you've all been waiting for! It's time! Fighting out of New York City, he is the reigning, defending, undisputed, heavyweight champion of the world. The one, the only, the infamous, Andrew Schulz!"

Bruce Buffer has missed only one UFC PPV since 1996

Bruce Buffer is one of the most iconic figures in the UFC today. The veteran ring-announcer has been with the organization since its inception and fans may be shocked to learn that Buffer has only failed to appear at one UFC pay-per-view in the last 25 years.

Last year at UFC 267, Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira fought for the light heavyweight title in Abu Dhabi. A week prior to the event, it was announced that Buffer had tested positive for COVID-19 and was going to miss the event.

MMA reporter Ariel Helwani shared the news on Twitter:

"I just finished my 14-day quarantine and feeling like myself again and will be ready to roar off Madison Square Garden next week. Much appreciated. My 25-year plus Cal Ripken streak is over but doubt it will ever be beaten. Like Dana [White] said, it would take a bullet to keep me out of the octagon but Covid got me first."

Thankfully, Buffer quickly returned to full health and his iconic voice was heard around Madison Square Garden at UFC 268 a week later. During Buffer's time in the UFC, he's announced over 255 pay-per-view events.
