Exclusive: Mike Goldberg makes feelings known on potential UFC Hall of Fame induction

Mike Goldberg recently opened up on a potential UFC Hall of Fame induction for his work in the promotion. The topic of a Hall of Fame induction has come up in recent years for Goldberg, especially considering his lengthy tenure with the MMA leader.

Goldberg was the voice of the UFC for 19 years, most of which were spent alongside Joe Rogan, and he built great relationships with many fighters in that time. He was on the call for some of the biggest moments in the promotion's history, including Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar on 'The Ultimate Fighter' season one finale and Conor McGregor's knockout win over Jose Aldo.

During an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Goldberg mentioned that he would be thrilled to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, but the relationships he has built have been equally as rewarding, which was evident on the GFL Draft broadcast:

"People always talk about Hall of Fame and stuff like that. You know, the jacket and everything, that'd be great. I know where my career has been. I'm excited about another chapter with mixed martial arts... But to me, you get a Hall of Fame of life. And for me, the Hall of Fame of life... Is that those friendships, that respect, that fun, that we've been on this path before attitude existed throughout the whole [GFL] draft."
