Bellator’s transition to Showtime has ended the tenure of veteran MMA broadcaster Mike Goldberg.
Bellator President Scott Coker confirmed to the New York Post that Goldberg, who joined the ViacomCBS-owned promotion after a long stint with the UFC, is no longer part of the broadcast team for events.
“Mike Goldberg is not going to be part of the mix moving forward,” Coker said. “But I think we had a great run with Mike, and the door’s always going to be open.”
Goldberg’s name was not on the list of a broadcast team announced by Showtime this past month for Bellator’s 2021 kickoff, which begins on Friday with Bellator 255.
