Mike Goldberg to return for UFC 300?

[JakePaulMMA]

Mike Goldberg was a commentator who served alongside Joe Rogan for almost 10 years calling play-by-play in his own style. He had the ability to see things no one else noticed and had could recite information about a fighter that literally no one else had ever heard before.

Long time fans loved him, miss him, and think he was given his walking papers unceremoniously. Some people feel cheated. It'd be a great chance at one final experience in the sport he helped grow and form into what it is today.

He won't be back but it would be cool to hear his voice again.

I read that he was a pill junkie and that’s why they canned him. I’m not sure if it’s true. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Fedora Millionankles]

My favorite commentator of all time. Unintentionally hilarious, memorable one liners; was the voice of the UFC for almost 2 decades. Would welcome him back with open arms. lol

 

[Ares Black]

He was truly terrible at the job in many important ways, but there was something likeable about him. I don't think he's on great terms with the company though.

I can't personally confirm if it's true but I can confirm that he certainly seemed strung out near the end of his tenure

And I can confirm that I've heard this rumour for several people I consider credible.

I was never a huge fan but if he made an appearance I would lose my shit.

 

[USA!USA!]

I think Dana doesn't like him or something. He was OK - probably Fitzgerald level. Anik better, but he could probably still do it.

rumors had it he did go to rehab. but no one in the UFC has ever confirmed it and goldberg has strongly denied it.

 

[runjay]

anyone but robin, i say

 

[Bork Neslar]

I hope so. He's the best by far.

 

[Senbonzakura]

I would be ok with a one-off for 300. I dont think they should allow him on the maincard but having him come in for the ESPN prelims with Rogan and let Anik and DC take a break would be quite the surprise and hit the nostalgia feels big time. Having Goldy sign off the prelims would be the ending he deserved. Hell maybe even a HOF non fighter wing if Dana was really feeling it that night.

Good call TS

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

The Goldie/Joe pairing will always be peak UFC for me.

 

[Gang Sign Luke]

He always said the octagon girls' names with such enthusiasm.

"Chrissy. Arianny. Celeste."

 

[Objectively Correct]

Fuck yes, Goldberg is based

 

[italiamusica]

It would honestly be amazing if he came back, even if it was just for the main event, so we can all hear OOOOOOOOOOOOOUR TAAAAAALE OF THE TAPE

I still think he was playing the role of the idiot on purpose, so that Joe could correct him and through that inform the audience listening of basic shit.

He also annoyed me at the time, but looking back I kind of miss the guy.

 

[Jinx_AA]

Loved goldy being unintentionally hilarious

But he’ll never be back !

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Yeah buddy! Love me some Goldberg

 

[BowserJr]

His unintentionally funny comments were part of the UFC. They should have him one last time


"Knock out be knockout

The Michael Jordan of bjj... maybe the kobe?... No? OK

The little eagle flies again!

The black guy vs the white guy"

Please name some more!
