Mike Goldberg didn’t get a send off following UFC 207, but Friday night he released a statement regarding his final UFC show on Twitter.

The promotion’s longtime play-by-play man, dating back to 1997, thanked fans for the support, gave a shoutout to UFC fighters and even poked a bit of fun at himself in the post.
