Former WEC announcer Joe Martinez was not brought into the fold following the official merging of the WEC and UFC back in 2010, but after over a year of working with other promotions, remaining respectful and crossing over to boxing, he'll be given an opportunity to fulfill his dream of cage announcing a UFC event.

Martinez broke the news to Examiner.com earlier today and if you're a huge Bruce Buffer fan, don't worry. He's not going anywhere. Here's what he had to say:

"All my respect is to Bruce; it's his gig, and I'm just more than happy to step in and fill a role for a night. The opportunity is there and I am happy to be the one they have called on for it."

As long as Dana doesn't bring Frank Shamrock back I don't care.

Wonder why the buff can't attend that event?

I'm super pumped about this.

I actually prefer Martinez over Buffer or Lennon Jr so this is awesome news, even if it's only for one event.

Two events in the same night. One in Australia and one in Vegas. Now, Bruce is good but I don't think he can be in two places at once lol.

I was kind of expecting Jimmy Lennon Jr to fill in for him though.
