On Saturday, April 13, 2024, UFC 300 was more than just a milestone event; it was an electrifying spectacle that will be etched into the records of MMA history. From jaw-dropping fights to unforgettable moments, the night was a whirlwind of emotions for fans and fighters alike. Amidst the adrenaline-fueled action, one element stood out – Bruce Buffer's iconic custom King & Bay jacket, a testament to both style and symbolism.
The Night of Epic Fights: Highlights from UFC 300
The octagon was alive in Las Vegas with action as UFC 300 delivered one incredible fight after another. Perhaps none were as exhilarating as the fight between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway. Five rounds of relentless combat culminated in a heart-stopping knockout by Holloway, leaving fans on the edge of their seats until the very last second. Another bout that kept everyone guessing was Charles Olivera versus Arman Tsarukyan, a showdown that went the distance, ending in victory for Tsarukyan by a split vote. And then, the main event, Alex Pereira versus Jamahal Hill, where Pereira clinched victory with a knockout punch that echoed through the arena, solidifying his place in UFC history.
Bruce Buffer's Style Evolution
A staple of UFC events, Bruce Buffer is not just the voice of the octagon; he's a style icon in his own right. Throughout the night, Buffer's wardrobe transitioned from sleek to sensational. For the preliminaries, he wore a black jacket adorned with stars, setting the stage for what was to come. But it was his later ensemble that stole the show – a floral silk jacquard masterpiece that exuded elegance and extravagance.
The Making of Bruce Buffer’s Iconic UFC 300 Jacket

Made from raw silk jacquard, its intricate patterns radiated under the spotlight, commanding attention with every move. But the true magic was in the details – the custom lining featuring the main title fighters, Periera and Hill, alongside UFC motifs and a sketch of Bruce himself. And of course, no Buffer jacket would be complete without his signature stitched inside.
