UFC's Bruce Buffer Goes Viral With Insane Blackjack Win
Legendary UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer has taken the internet by storm this week, sharing an incredible multi-handed blackjack win on his social media channels.
Known as the "Veteran Voice of the Octagon," Buffer posted a video of his four-handed blackjack triumph to millions of followers on X and Instagram earlier this week.
Played at Resorts World Las Vegas, the video has already amassed over 500,000 views on X alone, with thousands of likes and comments pouring in from Instagram and other platforms.
Captioning the video of the win, MMA's premier MC wrote, "One of my best blackjack hands ever! First time in my entire life I was ever dealt 4 aces in a row to double up my bet 4 times & the dealer busts! #WINNING #ITSTIME #BUFFLIFE".
Check out Buffer's tweet and a video of the insane win below...

The veteran micsman then moves to double down on his hands, telling excited onlookers, "Oh my gosh, look at this; I don't think I've ever done this before!".
Buffer, who then added he'd never had 4 aces in his "entire history of playing," watched as the second deal was revealed:
Buffer hand 1: A♦4♦
Buffer hand 2: A♥4♥
Buffer hand 3: A♠A♥
Buffer hand 4: A♦J♠ (Blackjack)
With a single blackjack in hand, Buffer needed the dealer to bust for a big win, and the unfolding action did not let down fellow Resorts World players:
Dealer's hand: 6♣K♣
As per the rules of blackjack, drawing 16 meant a further hit was needed...
Dealer's hand: 6♣K♣10♠ (Bust)
Wild celebrations ensued, with Buffer repeatedly calling, "Let's go! Let's go!" and "Hey, it's Vegas!".
Certainly, it was an against-the-odds victory that even the finest mixed martial artist would be proud of.
