Goldberg making comments, movies
The World Fighting Alliance (WFA), the recently launched mixed martial arts (MMA) organization featuring a Who's Who lineup of MMA superstars, signed pro wrestling star and television and film personality Bill Goldberg as its color commentator for the WFA: King of the Streets pay-per-view on July 22 from the Forum in Los Angeles.
Goldberg's connections to the MMA world run deep. The former WCW champ has been a martial arts enthusiast throughout his career in wrestling and television. He has trained most of his adult life in Muay Thai kickboxing.
Goldberg also owns and operates Extreme Power, a Muay Thai training facility for children, adults and competitive fighters in Oceanside, CA.
Goldberg is set to star in a remake of the 1980s martial arts film Half Past Dead, which originally featured martial arts expert-turned film star Steven Seagal. Shooting is scheduled to begin in July in Los Angeles.
''I've been passionate about martial arts my entire life through my own Muay Thai training, my Extreme Power martial arts training facility and now through the myriad of relationships I have with the top fighters in the sport of MMA,'' Goldberg said in a press release.
``When the WFA approached me with this opportunity and I saw the lineup of elite MMA stars fighting for the WFA, I knew this was an opportunity to get more involved in the rapid evolution of this sport. The decision was a no-brainer, and I'm thrilled about my affiliation with the WFA.''
