Mike Goldberg "Taking Time Off" from UFC

[EmpireWF]

Last night, word broke that Goldie was not working 155 tonight due to an illness.

Today, news is straight from Dana that he's not ill, but he's taking time off and it's uncertain when he'll return.

Anik gets bumped up to the A team.

Rehab

Rehab

Schtick or truth ?

Does this leave an opening for any SF announcers ?....Id pay 3$ to have Gus Johnson and Rogan work a fight.

[Liquidrob]

I read it is rehab

Nope. I'd be shocked if Dana went to Fox requesting Gus.

The other SF guys are Showtime's people.

They should play a recording of Goldberg for the next show and see if anybody notices. I bet they could pull this off, and i'm only half kidding.

"And it's alllll ooover!"

"This guy is a warrior, Joe."

"Randy Couture was a boxer in the army."

"Three five minute rounds in the light heavyweight division!"

"Coooming up next..."

"He's a gamer."

"And next, we have, what is set to be, a huuuge fight, in the light, heavyweight, division."

"He's classy, Joe."

"Teep"

"Superman punch"

"The beautiful Arianny"

Yeah, apparently its for adderall addiction.

I expect the UFC to stick Anik or Florian in that spot until he comes back, which is a shame because Anik is unbearable.

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Anik was horrible. His voice is not meant for that.

[BigBiss]

For the record I'd be willing to field an offer

[CrimsonGhost56]

the fight professor needs to get a shot in the UFC

maybe its just my pride nostalgia but i think quadros is a great announcer

[Steel Mamba]

How can you guys forget "He's a beat a who's who list.."
But they all overuse that one.

"Now lets take a frame by frame look at the kick to the groin!"


rogans odd fascination with nut shots....

edit- woops added a rogan quote instead of goldie. at least goldie can fall back on annoucing pre-season arizona cardinals football games

[EmpireWF]

FWIW, Goldie shot down the rehab rumor and Helwani reports he's recovering from an upper respiratory infection. Says he expects to be back by the Fox show at the end of the month.
