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

wait....you are saying that Dana White had a problem with a guy cussing????
huh?
Some fans might be put off by it but I don't think Dana was.
Dana White curses more than any fighter.
Whatever...Forrest just won the title...if it were me I would be in the confessional until next week for all the curse words I would have used. I would have been like "holy shit, I can't believe I just won this fucking title...this is fucking crazy!" and so on and so on...it was his moment and if he wanted to use that moment to drops some curse words...so fucking be it,...he deserved that time!

Cursing should be fined on a per incident basis. Though I can handle cursing, this is now often a family sport with children watching. Here we are saying that this is a legitimate sport and on the other hand we have a champion on television cursing. If this happened in an NFL or NBA press conference, while the player was representing their respective teams, I guarantee you that the fine would start at about $10,000 per curse word. And rightly so.

Cursing should be fined just as in other professional sports. I am not personally offended by cursing. However, the reality is that this is fast becoming a legitimatized sport with many people watching, including children and people with strict religious and moral convictions that are offended by cursing. If an NFL or an NBA player cursed during a press conference while representing his respective team, I can guarantee you that the fines would start at $10,000 per F-Bomb.

Jim Ross sounds contradicting when he is an announcer for WWE, which has a wider youth fan base and their former HW champ was Stone Cold Steve Austin. At every appearance Stonecold made, came his use of Fbombs , flipping opponents off and slamming two cans of beers together, drenching himself in it, tossing it to the fans and this was in front of many many children btw. Not a very good example, but hey it worked, kids loved it and WWE was rich. I'm not saying he agreed to the actions of stonecold, but he works for a company that promotes wannabe bad asses. To question a true fighter like Forrests professionalism just sounds stupid especially coming from a WWE announcer who doesn't even know what real fighting is. How can you not swear after a 25min war, it's called relief guys and we are only human.

Dana never looks happy giving someone the belt unless its Chuck. He looked like he was going to crawl under a rock when Minotauro won.

Nevermind the fact that two men fought non stop for 25 minutues. Forgot about how this might have been the best point so far in Forrest's life. Who cares if Jackson might've gotten screwed by this decsion. So what if Forrest got his face cut above his eye and Jackson has a very sore knee. The only important thing here is, Forrest was swearing!!!!

let's see, i vagely remember rampage saying

"He kicked my ass"
"You go into a fight knowing, 50% chance your gonna get your ass whooped or 50% chance they gonna get their ass w hooped"


STFU about the forrest and rampage fight. It's over. Forrest won. Rampage lost. Done deal.

Dana could've been disappointed in his language because that footage could have been sent around to bigger network sports programs, showing a classy, smart white kid winning the most coveted mma title. Forrest saying FUCK a few times kinda ruined that PR angle.
