Man do I miss this guy on ppv's.. It was the best when it was just mike and joe
don't you miss his "IT IS ALL OVER!"
no, im not 5 and not impressed by loud noises
kid shalee It's gone the way of the Prrrrride lady. A fond memory.
Disagree strongly. Dom is way better
Dom may know way more about the game but he's far worse at the job of commentating. Don't get me wrong he's fine, but not particularly interesting.
Oh man the Mike Goldberg - Joe Rogan combination in the UFC. I really miss him when watching UFC fights since he is gone. Jon Anik is cool but just a little too monotone and robot like. Goldberg with Joe rogan was the perfect combination.
Totally agree
Crupy FaceMJ I'm kind of split. The new guys can say some interesting stuff but they seem to lack in enthusiasm. The one that I really think is good is Cormier.
I think that they might have gotten rid of Goldie since he and Rogan were so tuned in. I'm not sure that he would be a good fit with any of the other commentators.
Jimmy Smith and rogan would do good
@@izzajatt not as bad as Dan Hardy. He is god awful
I'd rather have accurate commentary than enthusiasm.
JUST LIKE THAT
IT IS ALL OVER
VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL
HERE WE GO
SHOWING EXTREME FLEXIBILITY IN HIS BONES, JOE
Why did UFC got rid of him? His voice and phrases are one of the things that created UFC.
Drinking problem
bs
After the ufc got bought out they cut a bunch of "overpaid" employees. Chuck Liddell also being one of them, but basically they had to choose between either Joe and Mike. And they deff can't get rid of Joe. But it gave a lot of fighters the opportunity to have commentating jobs now.
It always annoyed me that he had zero technical knowledge of the sport, just repeating whatever Rogan would say. I thought with time he would learn but he did not.
Most anoying commentator ever ! Im so glad they got rid of him but this should have been done, looong time ago.
The Projidy Mike
Michael Jordan-esque in his annunciation, Joe.
Prodidy*
His precision is really precise.
Chris L funny
Chris L he is also the most athletically gifted athletes ever
Chris L virtually identical
Chris L IT IS ALL OVER!
52:37 IT’S ALL OVER!!
Honestly mikes over the top analysists and commentary kept me awake and i literalyl always fall asleep when its anik and someone else
how can you not like this guy....nothing else is virtually identical
I really miss Mike. Great voice, phrases and passion. The UFC blew it when they canned him, he was one of the reasons for their great success.
People are just stupidly crazy to say the Robot Anik is better than Goldberg.
Dreaming#11 Anik at least has technical knowledge of the sport, I actually enjoy his commentary
Anik is a good guy and very competent, however, his commentary does not feel organic and he seems like a machine, with no real passion for the fights. That's why it bothers me when UFC let Goldberg go and so many people saying Anik is the best.
Personally I got tired of Goldie's catch-phrases and random stories during pivotal moments.
slevinlindsay - anik would be good if it were a radio program, he just states the obvious. Same with jimmy smith, just tells you the obvious, just about everyone at the ufc does that except rogan, cruz and a few other fighters that commentate from time to time.
I don't think anyone says that .. they are so different you can't compare. Also Goldberg came from the dark ages. Not on an stablished product.
A lot of the new crop of UFC analysts and colour commentators ask themselves, "how can I bring details and insight into this broadcast?" while Goldie also asked, "how can I make this broadcast more fun and exciting?" Huge difference.
I also think the UFC underestimated how, by having Goldie be a "simple minded" character on the broadcast, it allows a hardcore fan to feel superior (which is a pleasurable emotion) while giving a casual fan someone to be able to relate to. Especially in comparison to the UFC athletes who can be very intimidating and unrelatable as "Supermen". That's missing now.
The UFC did Goldie dirty, and I won't forget it or forgive them for it.
He made it so much more fun, like a spectacular event instead of a serious live sport. If you listened to the last Bellator Chael Sonnen and him did a fantastic job at making even the less skillful fights entertaining.
I'm not a huge fan of Goldberg as a commentator, but I've got a lot of good memories with him in them and he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Happy to see that he seems okay with Bellator.
"What kind of actress is your daughter" ... Ariel...Don't EVER ask a father a question like that! lol
Jean-Francois Joanisse Pornstar
ufc did him dirty
Doubt it but I'm sure he's getting that Bellator money.
Why is his voice virtually not identical from when he comentates??
Because everyone gets pumped up for shows. You think Bruce buffer goes around saying AND NOW!
@@greeneaxy8733 100%
Mike and Ariel together....there is some UFC bashing coming boys :D
Nah mike is a pro may critique but not bash
goldberg has reason to criticise; served that company for nearly 20 years, through thick and thin. turned down lucrative offers from other places to stick with the UFC and when they release him, no tribute which was well deserved, and no phone call to mike from dana
I am with you. I feel the same about Mikes situation.
Leg kick to the mid section
His precision is very precise
The little eagle soars again (talking about jens "lil evil" pulver)
Watt miman
The consistent thing about randy couture is that hes consistently consistent
The prodidy, the projidy, the prodigy
Welcome to the ultimate defining championships

ulfimit fighting championship
good to see you brother!
This is amazing, Mike is the same way in real life as he is on the broadcasts.
He describes his 20 year old daughter as being a young actress who has a lot of time to figure things out as being "on borrowed time" meaning when someone is living past when they are expected to. Lol
Charlie Smith yea i was like....tf?
So nice to hear any interview with mike, such a gent.
The broadcasts have become more boring, but it's not the broadcasting team's fault. They're pushing too much quantity over quality. I used to watch every Pride and UFC card because they were few and far between and I knew all the fighters. Now there's a card almost every weekend and I don't even recognize most of the fighters on them, let alone care about the outcome of their fights.
What kind of fan does that make you then? It doesn't matter if you never heard of a fighter. A fight is a fight. Sometimes under card fights are amazing.
HERE WE GO
So many fighter had stats that were virtually identical but no one pointed it out
Too many chefs in the kitchen today. More isn't better. Overly excited guy with stats worked great with Rogan.
Mike "IT. IS ALL. OVER." Goldberg
Mike ..you are sorely missed we truly miss you!! Thanks for being such a huge part of my life in MMA!!
The man, the myth, the legend. Miss this guy in the UFC
His precision is so precise.
His voice sounds totally different.
Eik no....it doesn't
Cocaine
Jack Jameson if he hits the wrong note at any point in his life, he gets sued back to the stone ages
Thats because he shaved his goatee
Yep. A true pro !
He talks like he does when he presenting, its weird.
That's why he's a goddamn natural
His precision is precise !!!
Hall Of Fame legend if there ever was one...SEG days were classic, he had no idea what he was talking about but it was goooood
Ive always been a big goldberg fan. Brings so much energy to every show. God bless you and your family
Milford CT aka Pillford!! Respect!
Great interview. I love Goldie. What a book that guys got in him. Can’t wait.
Love and miss Mike Golberg! Goldberg and Rogan CLASSIC! UFC will never be the same for me!
The only guy whose hype factor matches Mike Goldberg is Bruce Buffer.....why the UFC let him go I will never understand. Anik's good, Joe's good, DC's good, but none of them are Mike Goldberg good when it comes to hyping the fight!
OOOOOuuuur tail of the tape is brought to you by Reebok, the official rip off of the ufc
Absolutely!
Mitrione v Miocic ..Woodley v MacDonald ..UFC v Bellator!! Goldy n' Rogan back together, Big john, D.C ' Jimmy Smith also on the commentary team...Joe leaves the keys to the warehouse with Schaub, 'the kid' Callen n' don't forget Uncle Joey ..Fight Companion, you know it makes sense..why can't i dream if people are talking CM Punk v The Money Team's Floyd Mayweather
Conor McInnes If only dream came true!! i love it brotherr..This would be amazing one day.
Yeah I have always dreamed about a ufc vs Bellator
Only exciting fight they could make is woodley vs macdonald and maybe fedor vs miocic even though fedor is past his prime it would still be a fun fight. Bellator needs to step it's game up before a full promotion vs promotion card.
Great idea! Can we add Edgy Brah to the fight companion?
🥋🧙☑️ 🤘 👊🏾 ........👁🕵🏻 🌎 🌍🌏🐮💩💩 😱😵🤪🤩😣🤯
Always glad to hear Mike Goldberg 😊
I miss the sexual tension (some say chemistry)between him and Rogan.
Mike Goldberg has the voice of Chris Farleys imitation of "Da Bears" guy! LMAO!! 😂😂
I love how he has an accent now but not when he is announcing
Miss the Voice of Goldberg! Thanks for the great insights!
Way to go Ariel!! I miss Mike Goldberg and all of his antics during the UFC broadcasts. He doesn't seem as animated and/or goofy over at Bellator.
I love the difference in his real and announcing voices.
Much love Mikey. Go Sharks!
good stuff
The only addition to the UFC broadcast team that I liked were DC and Jimmy Smith.
Just when I thought the guy couldn’t be any cooler he likes hockey too
Almost great interview, I wish it would have stayed more MMA (did we really need the NFL question?) Ariel you could've asked more questions about his early days or even one about his relationship with the late Jeff Blatnick. Mike is the missing "component" to these latest UFC events, the teams they've put together have even been good at times, but they miss.
And Here We Go...
What a cheerful guy
I’d love to see mike Goldberg interview sage northcutt, it would be like a Dalmatian interviewing a Labrador retriever
You guys should do a show together. Would kill it!
The two Canadians :D love it
It is aaaaaallll ooover!!
Mike Goldberg announced pro volley ball back in the day too. He's done it all! 👊
Mike “youre my guy” Goldberg and Ariel “im your guy” Helwani absolutely scintillating
Best commentator by far! Perfect voice.
You can tell a difference between his broadcast voice and regular Goldie
I miss just Mike and Joe I always felt like they we're really emotionally invested in the fights
Mike's announcer voice is different from his regular voice.
I think Mike Goldberg moonlights as ‘Rick’ from backroom casting couch.
Man I miss this guy. It seems weird without him and it seems weird with him on bellator
Simply the best.
Ariel has that look in his eyes
Best voice Mike Goldberg
And we are... 00:00 under way!
I miss him
#bringhimback
Love this guy
I never hated Mike, but I was glad when he was gone. I've been rewatching some old events on Fight Pass and it astounds me how little he actually talked about the fight that was actually happening. Just constant and largely irrelevant comparisons to fighters who weren't even in the same arena or, at times, weight division.
Well atleast the current guys can pronounce the Company and fighter names correctly
Goldie is a legend...if you say otherwise you don’t know this sport
ok casual...
Interesting dude!
"Yeah yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah . Yeah yeah . Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah." - Ariel Helwani
“AND IT IS ALLLLLLL OVER”
It’s sad how the UFC treated him despite what you think of his commentary no one should be treated like that after working somewhere for 20 years
I do have to admit I don't like listening to joe no matter how technical he is. Goldie does have that memorable voice. Thank you for your time Mike and I'm glad you're still going!
Mike 'Absolutely' Goldberg
Seems like the timeline suggests his firing has to do with Fernanda Silva.
I just watched a UFC Fight Night with Jimmy Smith and it didn't feel like a UFC event. It felt like a sub par Bellator event. Shitty word salad commentating like "He's gotta really ramp it up if he wants this" and "That was a punch right where it needed to be to win the fight". It was really cringe worthy. I miss Joe and Goldie.
Absolutely a prodidy
What a gentleman this guy is 👍
I like Goldberg but it would have been cool if Bellator went old school with one of the originals, "The Fight Professor,", Stephen Quadros.
The Ariel Helwani Podcast...
................."What kind of actress?" ..........only Ariel could ask such an awkward question
Goldie seems happier now that he's not with the UFC. Good for him.
Legend...
You know alot of people talked about Mike Goldberg's demons when he departed from the UFC... I don't know them and honestly I do not care either. No offence to the broadcast team they have now but it is NOTHING compared to the chemistry of Goldberg and Rogan. They were real brothers on the mic. It sounded amazing. The honest excitement of Goldberg and the breakdown Rogan could give at any moment. UFC is really letting some of their best talent slip away to Bellator.
Ultimate defining championship
And still...
endearing himself to Canadian fans!
🍁💀🍁 🤙🏼
"AND IT'S ALL OVER!!....oh wait no it's not sorry" lol gotta love Goldberg
Am I the only one listening to this goldy interview thinking about corn dogs ??
I think you mean Corn Nuts lol
Not anymore
Good stuff Ariel.
Bring Goldy back to the UFC!!
