Michael Buffer gives epic introduction for NFC Championship

Los Angeles knows how to put on a show.

As 49ers kicker Robbie Gould reared back and got ready for the opening kickoff for the NFC Championship against the Rams at SoFi Stadium, famed boxing ring announcer Michael Buffer’s voice boomed over the in-stadium mic with his patented call: “Let’s get ready to rumble!”


Buffer stood near the end zone and was synced perfectly with Gould’s kick, which ended up being a touchback. Buffer is making this something of a habit, as he also announced the kickoff between the Rams and Arizona Cardinals in the Wild Card round.

The 49ers and Rams are fighting for the right to play the Cincinnati Bengals, who stunned the Kansas City Chiefs with an 18-point comeback in a 27-24 overtime classic to reach Super Bowl 56. SoFi Stadium will also host the Super Bowl in two weeks, where it's sure to be a spectacle highlighted by the halftime show featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and Mary J. Blige.

The NFL is expecting a heavyweight fight between the Rams and 49ers, so Buffer’s introduction was a nice touch.
