Mike Goldberg reacts to famous flubs, 'Michael Jordan of BJJ' having son named Jourdan

Check out our exclusive chat with former UFC and Bellator commentator Mike Goldberg.

Legendary combat sports commentator, Mike Goldberg, spent nearly two decades with the UFC, starting in 1997 and making his exit in 2016. He then spent about four-years as a voice for Bellator MMA from 2017 to 2021. Now, the one they call 'Goldie' is commentating some bare knuckle at BYB Extreme 23 on January 18th, which is a Thursday show. Before sitting Trigon-side, Mike Goldberg caught up with Bloody Elbow for an interview.

Mike Goldberg spoke about how he linked up with BYB Extreme, versus how he used to try and score gigs in the olden days. He also mentions how he gets to say his catchphrase 'It's all over' much more frequently now working a bare knuckle event than he did working MMA cards. With Bellator's sale to the PFL finally official, I asked Mike about what the future might look like for one Scott Coker.

Being a good sport, Goldie also relived some of his most famous flubs from over the years, from Watt Miman to the Progidy, which will forever live on through fight lore. I also got to be the one to inform him that Travis Lutter, A.K.A. 'the Michael Jordan of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu,' actually has a son named Jourdan, and he actually just won his MMA debut by RNC in the first round last October.

Bloody Elbow will be on location for the BYB Extreme 23 event on January 18th, so make sure to follow along on our social media platforms to see and hear some of the hustle and bustle. If you happen to be in South Florida and want to attend then you can purchase your tickets HERE.

How Mike Goldberg gets gigs

Eddie Mercado: Mr. Mike Goldberg! How did you link up with BYB Extreme, and do you score gigs yourself, or have an agent?

Mike Goldberg: It used to be back in the day you would send a tape. I remember being very poor college graduate and you had to send these three quarter tapes back then, Eddie and you had to make sure the label was right. Because if you spell the news director's name wrong, that tape, they don't even put that tape in the machine. And justifiably so. But I was going broke $7.00 at a pop and then it finally got a gig. But nowadays I was very fortunate.
