Forrest's language after his victory.

It's clear that the powers that be in UFC think that Forrest makes a great champ. He's homegrown, a character, and the people love him. During his victory speech he used some obscenities. I could see the smile fall right off Dana's face as he was placing the belt on Forrest. Jim Ross (of WWE fame) made reference to how unprofessional it was in his UFC 86 review. Viewable at Five Ounces of Pain | Jim Ross shares his thoughts on UFC 86

What do you guys think? Was this unprofessional? Bad for business? Bad for Forrest's next paycheck?

Yea I can totally see Dana White, the same guy who swears in official press releases(!!!!) getting mad at a fighter who just won the sports most prestigious title after a 25 minute long show down where to took repeated blows to the head dropping a few swear words on pay-per-view TV.

Hmm. I wonder what inspired me to reply to this silly thread. Icehouse maybe.

I take it you've never heard Dana White speak before.

If this was before UFC 86, I would call Forrest badass for doing it. But now after the 86 robbery, im pissed and I think it is bad for the sport and unclassy.

I'm just saying it was a big moment. All eyes were on Forrest. Not a classy move IMO.

When are people going to realize, UFC isn't for pussies, it's never going to be for pussies, they're not trying to market to pussies, and they never will market to pussies. People that watch UFC don't have a problem with profanity. People that have a problem with profanity are... pussies.
