I support this. I like the guy Bellator has now, but Goldie is an upgrade for sure.
Fantastic news, be good to have him back in our lives.
WME-IMG and I were never friends. - Mike Goldberg.

They cant attach his legally mandated severance to non-compete conditions.
They could offer a bonus package for him to not compete for how ever long, but it would have to be pretty lucrative.
Plus a non compete clause would be pretty rich given they basically said they think he sucks.
"You suck Goldie but we don't want you sucking anywhere else!"
Good for Goldie.
In other news, Jimmy Smith takes yet another step to becoming Joe Rogan, he just can't escape his destiny.
stickman - No disrespect to Goldie and I'm sure this isn't the most popular opinion but I actually like Bellator's commentary team now. I think Grande and Smith have a nice chemistry.Grande is terrible.
Kind of hope Goldie finds some new adventure, outside of MMA. I always thought he could become a host/presenter for a sports show of some kind.
I could see Jimmy and Goldie being a fun team
Jimmy is alright I guess, but their comm team is zzzzzzzz. Get Goldie in there. Bring some fun back to watching an MMA event.
Nexuscrawlers -Bojack Horseman -Yeah, that guy who replaced wheelock sucksBuddyRevell -
Who does play-by-play for them now? That guy better start looking for a new gig.
jimmy and goldie would be much better. Smart move
I wouldn't go that far and say he sucks. But so far, IMO, he just isn't all that memorable. Not horrible, yet not awesome either.
To me, Goldie is memorable. So is Jimmy....and Rogan, and Mauro....hell even Bas and Quadros are memorable. But I just don't seem to remember the guy who replaced Wheelock
AND HEREEE WEEEEE GOOOO!!!!!
Morgz -Okay. Maybe sucks is a little harsh, but wheelock was great. He had experience reffing and judging in boxing too so he really knew his stuff.Nexuscrawlers -Bojack Horseman -Yeah, that guy who replaced wheelock sucksBuddyRevell -

Goldie and the virtually identical NWO Joe.
That guy they have now is like "great!"

Yeah I'm kind of forgetting how much I liked Wheelock. He's memorable too. VERY unique voice, also
What are the chances Joe hops over to bellator too when he leaves?
I think it's a bad idea. I love Goldie but this would just further solidify them as ufc jr, a b rate ufc.
Coker said the they are talking about Goldberg helping out when the other guy has to cover basketball
Go Goldie!

sloppyfloppys - What are the chances Joe hops over to bellator too when he leaves?I could see him brought in as a special guest commentator for a few special fights.
jqvwxyz - He doesn't have some sort of no-compete clause? Like part of his severance package was that he couldn't commentate MMA for a year or two?
from what I understand his contract just not renewed, so if that's the case he wouldn't be subject to a non-compete

also, I'm pretty sure if you fire someone you can't stop them from getting a job somewhere else.
