What is your true opinion of Mike Goldberg as a commentator of the UFC? He has been around for a very long time and yet it isn't often that he is a subject of discussion; so I ask, do you like his work - or do you think it is time for the UFC to find a new voice? What are his good or bad attirbutes?
I think he says some pretty...odd... things now and then, and he can go over the top at times. At the same time, I think he is a staple in the UFC commentary and it wouldn't be the same without him.

Pretty much this.
Part of me would LOVE for them to replace him with someone more technical to talk jive turkey with Rogan, but another part of me would miss Goldie and all the laughter he brings.

This and this, plus he loves Hockey, that gets extra points in my book.
He's gotten so stat crazy. "He completes 83% of his takedowns, Joe. That's the 8th best in ufc history. MAKE THAT 86%!!!" He's so repetitive too. "You hear the thud in the leg kicks, Joe." But part of me would miss his voice if he left.
Gave a shit a few years ago. Harassed and terrorised him on twitter to the point through so many accounts that it began to affect his broadcasts, would consciously go out of my way to good cop bad cop him with praise and hate. On like literally 100s of accounts a week, when he had 20,000 followers. He'd read all of his tweets daily and block each account, sometimes during broadcasts I'd get blocked or at weird times in the morning 3/4. He'd send private messages trying to justify his job and tell me that _goldiefan101 or jimmyfaze like his broadcasting style, so I'd go on to those accounts on the next broadcast and mind fuck him with. Then I gave up pot and got a life.

This. He does his job very well and the team of him and Rogan ARE the UFC. Without them it isn't the same
