Mike Goldberg

[Conor Strickland]

The UFC was so much better when Mike Goldberg was a commentator. Fights just felt way more exciting. You knew you were gonna hear him screaming "It is all over!!" when a knock out happened. Anyone else miss Mike Goldberg as commentator?

Mike Goldberg was truly the Michael Jordan of MMA commentating

The precision of this thread is precise.

He definitely respects the BJJ of Travis Lutter- Kenny Florian

 

[Trabaho]

his voice was great, also humble man, but his knowledge was awful. He just tried to say something without being wrong, and repeated a lot of stuff. I always felt he didn´t really enjoy the fights. So good that we got other commentators. But his voice was amazing.

He wasn’t the color commentator, Joe was. He was the play by play announcer type.

regardless he didn´t understand the sport well enough for such a high position

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Yeah... but wrestlers don't mind being on their backs these days

Joe rogan

I never cared that he didn't have an extensive knowledge of the fight game. He did bring life and excitement to the commentary though, and it is missed.

Far better than most of the stale current broadcasting team.

Would love to watch a Goldberg, Drunk DC, and Jon "Let's look at who here's whose dealing with pending felony charges in this fight" Anik commentating. Would be a dream, but no script for Goldberg, he has to do it off the cuff, and when he has to shill a product or film they don't even describe it in his ear piece, they just yell the name of the product.

He was good. Sad UFC didn't mention on his last event that it was his last. Disrespectful. He'd been around since the early days.

 

[Wormwood]

Goldberg needed a rest… It takes a lot of energy to be a rockstar ts..

When Mike Goldberg was commentating, you could hear the corner speaking Portuguese!

Even when they were speaking Japanese!

 

[Neck&Neck]

Mike Goldberg is the Mike Goldberg of MMA

Good ole days where everything else is virtually identical.

Yeah he did it for nearly two decades and his knowledge of the sport never really progressed. It's like he was always hoping for the NFL to call and give him an announcing job. His sole focus was getting his catchphrases in wherever he could. Even Bellator didn't want to keep him lol. He seems nice though.

Fights were more exciting back then because Joe Silva was matchmaking.
