Legendary UFC announcer Bruce Buffer would relish the chance to win some of Conor McGregor's millions over a game of poker.

Buffer, 62, calls the action on some of the biggest mixed martial arts cards around the world, and he loves poker so much that he always finds time for a trip to a local casino.

Buffer was at the PokerStars European Tour event in Barcelona last week where Gerard Pique and Arturo Vidal were among the big winners.

Barca centre-back Pique finished second and won £320,500 while his team-mate Vidal scooped £123,000 for finishing fifth.

PokerStars ambassador Buffer said: "I'm a very good poker player, I love poker. I play online when I can and I even built a poker room in my house! Once a month I have a very fun cash game with some very diverse personalities, which is a lot of fun."

"On the road, whenever I'm in Vegas or anywhere where there's a casino, my life is like being James Bond but I don't have to kill anybody.

"I put a tuxedo in a bag, travel somewhere, I find a casino and play some poker. I love my life and if there's a poker room wherever I'm at in the world, I'll always find time to get there."

SPORTbible were talking to Bruce who is currently at PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona at Casino Barcelona in Spain.
