I don't know why they have it listed as Goldie being the play-by-play announcer and Rogan being the color commentator. It seems like it's the opposite. Anyone else take issue with that?
I think you have confused the two, not them.
Play by play has always been the guy that does the promos and lead in and lead outs. Goldie being essentially a permanent noob and letting Rogan do alot blurs the lines but lead is the guy who carries the broadcast facets not just each fight/game.
Rogan is the wild and crazy colour man and Goldie is the straight man
although usually the colour guy doesn't do the interviews, they got Rogan doing double duty
This is reason #1 why I would rather they get someone who knows MMA better than Goldie, because commentary shouldn't be blurring the lines.
Even Anik is more consistently a lead than Goldie.
Goldie: catchphrases, statistics, loud noises, teeps
Rogan: 10th planet JJ, leg kicks, sweating
ChaosOverkill -Haha permanent noob I like that

And Ice
The lines a blurred in MMA not necessarily because Goldie is a permanent noob(although I'm sure that also blurs lines), but because it's not an instant replay sport. Most sports have a lull in action after each play which allows the play to be explained. MMA only has this lull every 5 minutes.
Football is the easiest example:
Play-by-play: Handoff to AP on the left. Breaks a tackle, down the sideline. Finally pushed out of bounds at about the 13 yard line.
Instant Replay
Color: Look at this hole opened up by the left guard. AP sees it and runs through, but what really makes this run is the block right here by the wide receiver,etc..(all the while drawing shit on the screen)
It's not possible to do this in MMA, so in reality Rogan is both PBP and color, while Goldie is a hype man. "Superman punch!"

Watching UFC wouldn't be the same without those two, regardless of their titles.
Madrussian1995 - Watching UFC wouldn't be the same without those two, regardless of their titles.They're a great team. Joe is biased and Goldie is confused and I wouldn't want them any other way.

They do a pretty good job together. Not the best but they do really well. But people will always complain
Goldberg makes the UFC look bush league.

Lol, VU...
They need a fighter. Miletich would be perfect.
GayGuardMooseSaucy - They need a fighter. Miletich would be perfect.I remember one MMA card the had Bas, schiavallo, and miletich announcing. I thought it would be the bomb. It sucked . They basically just joked around for the entire card...
