Yes - a lot of people have been. Have you not been reading any MMA forums since the fight? No one was pissed necessarily about no interview, but about not staying and waiting the decision out.

And what does he have to explain? He got his *** kicked in a humiliating fight and he didn't feel like sticking around.

He doesn't have to explain anything, but he should say something. Fans are befuddled by this incident, and he owes it to them to man up and say something.

Yeah, everyone at the bar was pissed at Forrest, total bitch move IMO. I don't mind that he gave up and didn't want to get hit anymore, I don't blame him there, but you don't run off and skip the decision like that.

I am really surprised anyone gave a ****. Guy got emtional and left. Probably not the most "respectable" thing to do but oh well. It's not like Anderson cared.

I know, I can't believe anyone was honestly upset about that. I think it's more like, "Well, Forrest shouldn't have done that, but I've got some sort of agenda, so I'm gonna act all outraged". The guy didn't stick around for a freaking decision.

Not for me. I didnt have an agenda at all. I would have been happy if Forrest or Silva won. I was actually ****ing shocked and my first reaction was it was classless. Nobody does that in MMA. Even people who get knocked the **** out stay for the decision. I didnt need an interview. What the hell was he going to say? But he should have stayed for the decision.

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.

It's all Griffin's fault for getting that BS decision over Rampage to begin with.

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
