goldberg sucks balls. he constantly says stuff that is totally wrong. half the time it looks like he is loaded. i dont know how many times ive heard him scream “not 1 person in the whole place is sitting at this moment!” when the camera shot is showing people just sitting there. the ufc should get rid of him as soon as possible.

Mike Goldberg, the hype man who works with Joe Rogan, needs to be advised on his over-sensationalism. Goldberg’s steady barrage and claims of Ken Shamrock being the “most dangerous man in the world,” is really shameful and disrespectful to the viewers, as being competent fans.

If he was so dangerous for Tito Ortiz, why was the match like Ali in his latter stage, vs Larry Holmes? Like the latest “Rambo,” Stallone? That announcer really seems to even make Rogan, uncomfortable.

To even have it as the “main event” was insulting to the viewers. Goldberg is as overly hyping as the NBA announcer, Mike Breen. Check him out. Breen seems to even announce when the players use the restroom, breathe, or even when they drink fluids. He’s boringly, over-informative. Goldberg is overly caffeinated? After Shamrock was easily defeated, Goldberg was shy and hesitant on calling him dangerous–even to flies.

With some commentating classes, Goldberg may be okay. As for now, he seems to only be hired for being a producer’s relative; or the great ability of being a “yes” man.

Mike Goldberg is fantastic. I just love that guy. He is so respectful, polite, and professional. He is my favorite employee of UFC for sure. Keep up the good work!

Goldberg is very good. His job is NOT to be an expert (that’s what color commentary is for), his job is to make the action accessible to as many fans as possible.

Yes, oh wise internet fan, that means sometimes he says things that seem stupid to you, but since we want the sport to grow, someone needs to do that. I think it’s great he asks questions to Rogan or whatever real fighter is in the 3rd chair, because it answers a lot of questions the newer, or more casual, fans might have.

Goldberg is a living legend. Any UFC event without Goldie or Rogan is bland.

I think all the Goldberg bashing would go away pretty fast if people heard what a broadcast sounded like without him. Luckily that will probably never happen.

Imagine 2 Rogan types announcing? Forget it. Goldie is pure comedy.

You could NOT find a better combo than Rogan and Goldberg.
