On today’s “MMA Hour” with Ariel Helwani veteran UFC play by play announcer Mike Goldberg went on the record, officially, regarding his absence from UFC 155. Apparently Goldberg had a chest virus he picked up during the UFC’s last jaunt to Brazil for Anderson Silva vs. Stephan Bonnar; having asthma since a teenager it was a “perfect storm” to leave him hospitalized.
Per Goldberg prior reports of him having a problem with drugs were false.
Goldberg returns this weekend to his regular duties as play by play man at UFC on Fox 6 in Chicago, IL.
