With having his last UFC commentating gig at UFC 207 in December, Goldberg is on to the next chapter in his life but surely isn’t just walking away from the sport of mixed martial arts.

Goldberg was seen in the crowd during the UFC Fight Night 103 broadcast rubbing shoulders with the other fanatic followers of the sport in attendance. The former commentator was surely aware of the camera and threw up a shaka as the camera was aimed in his direction.

Goldberg worked as a commentator for the UFC for 19 years and had his last commentating job at UFC 207 on December 30.

Many fans were upset that the UFC did not honor Goldberg or acknowledge him for his years calling the fights. However, Goldberg posted a statement on twitter after UFC 207 letting all of his fans know how grateful he was to have worked for the UFC for 19 years.

Goldberg posted the following statement following UFC 207:

“I wish I could respond to every single fan, fighter and member of the media who reached out and showed their support, gratitude and appreciation! It has been overwhelming and so gratifying! Thank you!!

“Every single UFC, from Ultimate Japan to UFC 207, my primary focus has been on just 2 things!

“First, to bring passion, energy and raw emotion to our fans around the world, dedicated, diehard fans like none other!

“Second, to properly represent each and every fighter, from UFC newcomer to veterans with 20 plus Octagon battles, out fighters work so hard and sacrifice so much it was my responsibility to properly prepare and tell their stories!!

“Tommy Toe Hold, that video was hilarious!

“And just for the record, I still believe that Anderson Silva’s Precision is Precise!”
