Eh ... to some extent I could do without it, because I watch it with my kids and what not. But then again, these guys are fighters, not polished public speakers, so ..... I don't know, I could go either way on it really.

Seriously its been 4 days after the fight enough of this robbery bullshit. Rampage loss, if it was a boxing match I can understand he would have won. I'm getting really tired here that everyone is trying to undermine his win. Most of the professional fighters that seen the match and fighters that train with Rampage believed he lossed it was on the main page. Get over it, man there are too many butt hurt Rampage fans here. I like both fighters and couldn't choose who to win, that's how close the fight was. If anyone is to blame, blame Rampage and his camp because it was a bad game plan on their part and couldn't put Forrest away.

I really like Forrest but I think classier language will come from the guy in time. He hasn't come to terms with being a champion yet so he wasn't thinking about his image...that will change soon.

Forrest was pretty dejected for having won the belt. He said "happiest day of my life" but didn't look or sound like he meant it. I think he was still pretty disappointed despite winning and that attitude reflected in his swearing..

MMA will never be seen as anything more than a bunch of numbskull, low brow, violent brawlers with this kind of thing happening. I can understand Forrest being pumped, and they often warn reporters about doing interviews immediately after an event with athletes (especially if they lost, which he didn't), but come on.

They will never be mainstream with that image. My wife who watched it with me, and is not a fan, was rooting for Forrest, but immediately turned on him when he started cussing like an ape.

It will happen from time to time, but defending it by saying anyone who doesn't like hearing it is a "pussy" shows how dumb you really are. You aren't helping the sport.
