I agree with JR on the UFC's production value thing.

Also Forrest just seems to me like a cry baby, someone who swears to look cool. you won the belt, its your big moment, and he looked and acted very un excited. i just expected more.

i dont hate forrest, but he's probably my least favorite top guy in the ufc. not taking away from his fights, i just dont like his vibe

Because Fedor is just bursting with personality right?

It still hasn't been proven that a guy like Fedor will even sell in the US so I think fighters patterning theselves after him is a little premature.

oh boohoo a fighter cusses how horrible. Not like Dana White doesnt throw around the f-word left and right on cable television, at least this was on pay-per-view, get over it. And who the hell cares what a fake wrestling anouncer thinks of it, besides he used the word hell, and the phrase son of a bitch back in the days of Stone Cold STeve AUstin, so forgive me if I feel he has no position to tell what he thinks.

Not professional. If he's a professional athlete, he should get a media coach or something. Forrest's interviews usually suck. He's the king of one-word answers or answering questions with "how should I know?" The likable wise-guy thing is okay, but gets old in a 20 minute segment...

You know what I thought was weird. Forrest cried when he lost to Jardine and ran out of the ring. Obviously a guy with lots of emotions in the ring. What I'm getting at is how when he won that night, he hardly showed any emotions at all. I mean yeah he seemed happy but not as excited as I thought he would be. I mean this is a guy that proved to everyone that if you were on TUF you could be the champ one day. Yet when he wins he was kind've like it was just another fight. Anybody agree?

WAR Jim Ross! Its nice to see a possitive point of view about MMA from someone associated with pro wrestling.

Who gives a fuck?

It's equally humorous each time Americans, who generally tend to be perfect embodiements of double moral standards and blind self-righteous arrogance, proclaim that cussing is an act that lacks 'class'.

It's just words.

It ain't blasphemy.

Im torn on this.

Sure Dana fires the F-Bomb off quite frequently but it seemed a bit different when Forrest was doing it on live TV. The first F-bomb he dropped didnt bother me. When he continued is when it got trashy.
