Based on predictions, Alex Pereira could be undeniable of that introduction should he continue achieving success and move up to heavyweight for a third title. Sean O'Malley could earn that if he continues to surge in popularity.
Demetrious Johnson, on the other hand, could be realistic should he be announced as a UFC Hall of Fame inductee in the future, which is likely as he is regarded as the greatest flyweight of all time. With that in mind, it will be interesting to see whether fans will be correct in their prediction of who will receive Buffer's special introduction next.
