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"

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.
