Who is the UFC translator and how many languages does he know?
There is one man who has become a bit of a cult figure thanks to his role as UFC translator and that is Fabiano Buskei. While this isn’t a formal title the translator has, he has been in the Octagon with some of the biggest names in the business.
Buskei has translated for Charles Oliveira, among others, and he seems to be the guy to go to for all the Portuguese translations.
Buskei also claims to be a voice artist and has Penn State University listed as his college/university.
Fabiano Buskei completed his BA in communications from Penn State in 2000. He then completed his Minor in Liberal Arts: Business/Marketing also in 2000.
The four years he spent in college didn’t go to waste though. It’s listed that he was working part-time with ESPN helping out in the production of college football and basketball content.
He also has worked at Walt Disney World in several roles and got his part-time translator UFC role in August 2020.
