"And then right before the show when they sang the Star Spangle Banner, which has never been done at a UFC before and I always mouth the Star Spangle Banner, heart, you know, hand over my heart and sing it with it because I'm very, very proud."
Buffer recounts the UFC’s White House grounds event as a career highlight, citing rehearsals on site, meeting the Marine Band, and speaking with military personnel and first responders. He says the US national anthem was performed—something he claims had not happened at a UFC event previously—and that a jet flyover made the scale of the moment sink in for him.
