Let’s preface this by saying that we love Mike Goldberg, but sometimes he’s just a little bit… goofy. What’s great about the dynamic of the UFC’s commentators is that you’ve got a stand-up comedian, but he’s the one providing in-depth MMA analysis while Goldie usually seems to be the one bringing the comic relief. Here are some of our favorite Mike Goldberg quotes from over the years, with some classic Mike Goldberg gifs peppered in for good measure.
Goldie’s a Company Man
Without sponsors, the UFC wouldn’t last very long and neither would Goldberg’s sweet gig, but no worries – he knows how to keep that sponsor dough rolling in.
Goldie: “Welcome back, Randy Couture. This fight brought to you by…”
Sylvia gets knocked down by a huge right hand, Rogan loses it… but moment’s later, ever the professional…
Goldie: “…Shooter. Starring Mark Wahlberg in theatres next Friday.”
Goldie’s a Family Man
Goldie: “You can hear the corner speaking portuguese!”
Rogan: “Uh, that’s Japanese, brother”
Goldie: “I should have known that.”
Rogan: “You’re the one married to a Japanese chick.”
Goldie: “That is correct.”
Goldie Talks Man on Man
This one’s right up there with the episode of TUF when Dana talks about the fighters beating each other off, but at least Mike didn’t mention the plowing that went on at the Hughes farm.
Goldie: “Matt Hughes and his brother used to pound each other out behind the barn.”
Steve Cold Stone “I’ll Tell Ya What” Austin
Show some respect for the Texas Rattlesnake, you silver-tongued devil.
*** Bonus Gif ***
That’s it for now but as long as microphones exist and Goldie’s holding one, it’s only a matter of time until we get some more great lines. It’s not easy to fill the airwaves with intelligent comments and conversations for three hours at a time. Just ask Mike Goldberg…
