Mike Goldberg explains how he ended up in UFC Phoenix crowd for one last on-air cameo

Mike Goldberg set the mixed martial arts community aflutter earlier last month when he made an unexpected return to the UFC airwaves at UFC Fight Night 103.

It was a surreal moment when FOX Sports 1 cameras randomly spotted Goldberg amongst the crowd at B.J. Penn’s return fight in Phoenix, Arizona on Jan. 15 at Talking Stick Resort Arena. The on-air cameo came just weeks after the UFC unceremoniously ended Goldberg’s 20-year run as the voice of the Octagon, and when asked about the moment on a recent edition of The MMA Hour, Goldberg couldn’t help but laugh at his luck.
