Some Quotes:

On if Goldberg believes Brock Lesnar would go back to the UFC and have another successful run
 
If Golberg would consider displaying his skills in at least an exhibition or amateur fight?
“Abso-damn-lutely. That is in the back of my mind and it has been for the past couple of months, and you know, hey I’m 48 years old. The reality is that it’s not like I didn’t retire from the NFL because of injuries. So my body is torn to shreds, but I continue to have the desire to compete. I talked to Royce Gracie this morning, same thing with him. You know warriors never die, they just get older. And you know things change a bit, but you know the spirit never dies. Therefore every day I look for some type of physical test, and you know whether it’s putting myself against myself, which is my own worst critic and no question my biggest advisory. You know if I can please myself, then I can guarantee you that I could go out there and have some fun with people. You know Rampage [Jackson] and I were supposed to train earlier in the week. He unfortunately has the flu. We've got a number of guys at the gym that like to trade punches. That’s a lot of fun. And we got a big autograph session at Magic City Comicon in Miami coming up this weekend, and I did an interview yesterday the Miami State and put it out there that I want to train some Muay Thai. American Top Team through an invitation out, you know a number of other people did. Hey man, I don’t have an ego. I’ve done more in my life than 90 percent of the people could ever imagine doing. And so I don’t have an issue. Go on YouTube right now and have a look at the video that I posted of Jimmy Pedro the US Olympic Judo coach tossing me around like a doll. Well Jimmy weighs about 180 pounds, and if I had an ego and if I was worried about what people think, I wouldn’t put that online. But I thought it would be great, and I thought it would be killer to be able to feel that from a professional. From one of the best in the world. I have no problem training with anybody and getting beaten by anybody, because anytime you're getting beaten in a brawl; you know the good ones are the ones who prosper from that, and they learn, and they get bigger, and they get better, and they grow in the knowledge department.”
 
Cain Velasquez or Junior Dos Santos would kick Goldberg's ass.
 
Never heard of the guy.

Just checked in to hear PRIDE > UFC.

Iconic Pro wrestler, loves MMA and kickboxing/MT, good friends with Brock, Commentated Brock's first fight Min Soo Kim, commentated in K1 Dynamite and Elite XC, did some training with Frank Shamrock and Bas Rutten, owns Muay Thai gym, trains Muay Thai, honest about he's pretty shit at MT but loves to learn

If you have NO idea who Goldberg is but know who Stone Cold Steve Austin is...just pretend it's Stone Cold Steve Austin
 
So he's the expert now?
Said nothing that you couldn't read here on sherdog forums, so what is special?
