Rumor: Mike Goldberg Stepped Away From the UFC to Enter Rehab For Pill Addiction


(Come to think of it, Mike did appear a bit on edge during the UFC 154 broadcast. Not to mention the 40 lbs of muscle he’s packed on in recent weeks.) 

Oh Geez. This does not sound good.

In what is perhaps the most ironic twist of fates in UFC history, it has been rumored that UFC commentator Mike Goldberg — yes, that would be Mike Goldberg, not Joe Rogan, the weed-loving, LSD enthusiast with a DMT molecule tattooed on his arm who can often be seen shouting at you in a coke rage alongside Goldberg — has apparently taken a leave of absence from the UFC to enter rehab for a pill addiction. So sayeth TerezOwens:

The UFC refused to comment, but our sources are telling us the reason behind Goldberg’s no show is he’s stuck in Rehab for a pill addiction. Our source tells us Goldberg has an addiction to adderall.

While his removal from UFC 155 was originally reported as the result of a last-minute illness, Dana White’s statement that he “didn’t know when [Goldberg] would be back” left many fans questioning just what was up with the longtime commentator. Although it has not been confirmed by any direct source as of this writing, this explanation would make sense given the available information.

We here at CagePotato would like to wish Goldberg the best of luck if this is truly the case, and will honor him by not placing a video lowlight of his most incompetent moments after the jump.

Curse this black heart of mine, which lies heavier in my chest than a wet Nerf football.
