UFC commentator Mike Goldberg is gone and no one knows when he's coming back

Golllllldberrrrg. Golllllldberrrrg.
Forget Carmen Sandiego. Where in the world is Mike Goldberg? The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) play-by-play man skipped the UFC 155: "Dos Santos vs. Velasquez 2" pay-per-view (PPV) event last Saturday night (Dec. 29, 2012) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada (read more on that here), and no one knows when he'll be back.
Not even his boss.
UFC President Dana White told media members that "Goldie's out for awhile and I don't know when he'll be back." Goldberg himself tweeted that he was "bummed" to miss UFC 155, but had to "put his health first." No other information or details were made available.
Until now.
A report from Terez Owens suggests that Goldberg was removed from the announce table while he seeks rehabilitation for an addiction to drugs, specifically Adderall, a stimulant typically used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.
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.
As mentioned, FUEL TV commentator Jon Anik has been tapped as a temporary fill-in.
Keep in mind that nothing has been confirmed at this time and neither UFC nor Goldberg have commented on this report; however, keep it locked into MMAmania.com for more details as they develop. In the meantime, best of luck to Goldberg in "putting health first."
Dana's face at 4:27.. Priceless. I hope Goldie gets over whatever he is going through.. Must be pretty shit to be hooked on prescription pills, so easily accessible.
I would have guessed Buffer to be the one amped up on Adderall. I can't take those damn pills. I already have the bladder of a 4 year old, they make me piss almost as much as I breathe.

When I read the title, I thought of Goldy on a psychotic drug binge and having murdered some hookers in a deranged fit of rage and now being on the run...
I had noticed him looking quite a bit rougher than usual in recent events.
HAHAHA Everyone check this out! He seems pretty shitty when you lay out all of his mistakes like this but if you consider how long he's been doing what he's doing, he's bound to screw up a few times. I've never been his biggest fan but I give it another six months or so before we have a Jon Anik highlight reel like that.

Yeah man, it must be hard to have the kind of responsibility that Goldberg has at a show - to keep the show rolling smoothly and to fill in any silences, and to do it all in a professional manner and in a way that actually makes sense. I know I couldn't do his job, BUT having said it is still funny to see his mistakes.
