Re: Rampage Trashes Forrest Griffin For Running

didnt florian run out of the ring too?

i dont remember seeing him around for the decision and no one is saying anything about him. im a big florian fan too and i thought it was weird to have two classy guys like kenny and forrest just leave the ring once the fight was over. i was disappointed by both of their reactions

Re: Rampage Trashes Forrest Griffin For Running

Don't get me wrong, I've got no issue if someone disapproves or thinks Forrest was wrong for what he did.

I'm talking about people that were genuinely pissed off about it. If someone was actually upset that Forrest left early, I'm blown away.

IMO if people are pissed at Lesnar's immaturity it's the same as being pissed at Forrest. Both were things that they shouldn't have done, not professional or classy.

no, he stayed. bj even said to him after the decision "we can be friends again now, kenny"

Re: Rampage Trashes Forrest Griffin For Running

I thought Forrest should have hung around for atleast the decision and would have been thrilled to hear his explanation of the fight since he can be entertaining on the mic whether he won or lost but in the end I think Rampage should just shut his mouth considering what he went on to do after he dropped the belt to Forrest in the first place.

It's funny coming from a guy that passes on a fight with Machida.

oh ok, thanks for clearing that up

i watched the fights and i guess i was just so disappointed after he got submitted i just wasnt payin attention and didnt see him. but the more i think about it the better i feel about that fight. i mean bj was arguably in the best shape of his career and kenny still lasted longer than any one else who has fought him so far plus he didnt really get dominated until that last round, although ill agree he was down three rounds to none. as deep as the lightweight division is i think that there are three fighters in a class of their own (bj and florian being two of them and sanchez the other) and bj is even on another level from those two. even an out of shape bj is still probably the best fighter at 155 and for all the people that say diego is gonna go in there and finally take bj's belt, hate to piss in your cheerios but if bj comes into that fight with the same type of conditioning as the florian fight, sanchez wont end up much better.

Just out of curiosity do the people that think Forrest is a bitch for running out of the ring think that Lebron is a bitch too?

Thats not even close to being true. He didnt run from Machida. Spike and Dana wanted him for the Ultimate Fighter and didnt think a guy who doesnt speak a word of english (Machida) would be a great fit for the show. They paid Rampage a ton of money to pass up the title shot. If Lyoto beats Rua and Ramp beats Evans...they will meet.

I dont think either guy is a bitch. I just think they both were classless. Forrest more though. The NBA doesnt have a tradition that people shake hands after a series. Some players do it and some dont. Everyone in MMA stays in the ring for the decision.

Re: Rampage Trashes Forrest Griffin For Running

the only thing that pissed me off was forrest's performance in the ring. he looked tentative and amaturish and was dropped by pretty questionable punches.
the injury thing is still up in the air i guess no one knows the truth yet.

it was just a piss-poor fight because forrest was fighting like a loser which i didn't think was possible judging by his history.

when he ran out of the ring it looked like he felt extreme guilt or something...he probably just made it to the dressing room in time before balling his eyes out.

I thought it was weird, but I was kind of glad because I feel like it looked like it reflected his feelings: SHAME

I don't mind rampage's comments - that's his thing, if I was a UFC fighter I wouldn't be taking any of his comments personally or seriously.

Re: Rampage Trashes Forrest Griffin For Running

Does Rampage know why Forrest ran out? If he does he should share cause no one seems to know yet. If he doesn't then he shouldn't comment on it.

"I feel so bad for Forrest." The former UFC champ continued, "I don't even want a rematch anymore. LOSER!"

LOL That Fight was a deaw to me or a split decision

UGH!!!! I never understood how people thing that a split decision is a goood thing or that a fight should have been a split decision. Do they not understand how scoring works. The Judges are scoring the Fight. the same fight. its not like there is a striking judge and a grappling judge. If all 3 judges happen to see the fight the same way, Which should happen more often than it does. Then its Unanimous. Doesnt mean the fight wasnt close, it means the judging was probably good because all 3 judges agree on what they saw. You can complain about the actual scores. Like say at UFC 100 The judge that scored it 30-27 for Akiyama was on crack because belcher definately won one of those rounds. But to complain in favor of a consistancy in judging is MORONIC in my opinion, if people actually understand what they are complaining about.
