Bellator adds Mike Goldberg to broadcast team

Former UFC commentator Mike Goldberg has found a new job.

The longtime UFC play-by-play man is joining Bellator MMA's regular broadcast team along with former WWE commentator Mauro Ranallo, president Scott Coker announced Tuesday.

"Mike Goldberg and Mauro Ranallo are two of the best in our business and I couldn't be happier about them joining the Bellator family," said Coker. "In addition to June 24, we look forward to working together to make future Spike broadcasts even more exciting for our fans as we add further depth to an already-exceptional broadcast team."

Goldberg's last UFC call came on Dec. 30 at UFC 207 and he had not been linked to another promotion until Tuesday, though he teased the move to Bellator not long before it was announced.

Goldberg has about 20 years of experience broadcasting MMA and has dabbled in calling basketball, football, and hockey.

Ranallo has called MMA in the past with the Pride FC and Strikeforce promotions, among others, and he also gained plenty of popularity with the WWE after signing as the lead announcer on SmackDown in January 2016. The 47-year-old Canadian has also called boxing, kickboxing, and hockey in his career.

Goldberg and Ranallo will join current broadcast members Jimmy Smith, Jenn Brown, and Chael Sonnen.
