Mike Goldberg, UFC’s play-by-play man who was recently very close to signing with WWE, has been interviewed by MMAWeekly.com for the first time since re-signing with UFC. Included in the interview:
“I’ve always been treated with respect by Lorenzo Fertitta, Dana White and the crew. I’m sure Mr. McMahon would’ve done the same. Once the UFC came back with a very substantial offer and after talking further with the WWE, it became clear that my heart was still with the UFC. I knew what I went through and it became clear that is where I should be. Having the FSN (Fox Sports Network) thing was huge as well. Working for both Pac-10 and SEC in football and the ACC in basketball was great. Being able to do both was huge for me and ultimately made my decision.”
Also on the site is a piece entitled WWE’s Double-Cross on UFC which claims that Vince McMahon wanted Goldberg to sign a deal to appear on October 3 while no-showing the scheduled UFC event.
