After earlier reports on Wednesday that Friday’s UFC 207 pay-per-view would mark the final show for longtime UFC commentator Mike Goldberg, UFC president Dana White confirmed in a media scrum that Goldberg is out after nearly 20 years with the promotion.
“That is true,” White said (via FOX Sports). “When these kind of things happen I’d rather not talk about it. If Mike wants to talk about it, ask Mike.”
While there was no further elaboration on who would immediately replace Goldberg while they search for a new leading voice, White did indicate that Goldberg’s permanent replacement would most likely be known before the middle of 2017.
