Yeah, Goldberg might not be the most knowledgable dude, but I hardly thinks he ever really gets in the way. And he's about infinity times less annoying than michael schiavello, so he's got that going for him.

Is Schiavello the guy on Strikeforce? If so, then yes, Goldberg is so much better. ****, Goldie is better than any of the guys commentating on strikeforce, and he doesn't come off as much less knowledgable than Frank (that may have something to do with expectations though).

schiavello would be fine if he hired a writer to come up with some new catch phrases.

no more "the big kabosh" please. no more "the ref asked him his name and he said 'wednesday'" please.

He is clearly one drunken episode away from doing so at all times.

Speak for yourself, in 30 years he will hopefully be that grizzled old coot who says such things.

Frankly I don't mind the commentary so much, but I'd absolutely fucking love a SAP option for a commentary-free broadcast.

MMA is much better when you can hear the thump of the gloves without it being drowned out by commentators who are paid to speak to an audience of people who might not know what they're seeing.

... and probably never will if they keep getting educated by Mike Goldberg.

I really think they should replace Goldberg with a well-spoken retired fighter.

Like... Bas Rutten?

O.o

You do BJJ, don't you?
