Sure Ross...shit like that's fine but Forrest saying fuck needs to be addressed

you beat me to it

Until I read the article about Jim Ross I didn't even remember that he was cursing. The way I see it, it was pay per view tv airing at midnight and a few thousand drunk people at the venue. Not exactly the type of crowd that should be offended by it.

Who gives a rat's ass if someone is cussing during an interview? Hell, it's a human right to open your mouth.

Nevermind the fact that Dana looked extremely pleased with himself. Now that's not right. He wanted a paper champ, he got one.

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.

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

A WWE guy talking about propriety & professionalism is like... insert simile here.

It was out of character I admit but so was the crowd boo'ing him after he fought the fight of his life so, I really dont see the big deal. Being classy is hard when disappointment like that is staring you in the face.

PS: Jim Ross is a idiot.

I didnt like it because I think Rampage won the fight split. But also it wasnt a very Champion like moment. The emotion that was there was all potty mouth. He had less enthusiasm than he did against Shogun. That set off a couple of alarms in my head....but I aint saying nothing.

I think he was just a little irritated he was getting boo'd after that hard of a fight.

whether people agree'd with the decision or not is irrelevant, I wanted rampage to win and thought he should have gotten the decision, but they both fought a great, long ass, fight, and neither guy deserved to be boo'd at all, whatsoever.

and why boo a fighter because you disagree with decision a judge made? it's not his fault the judges thought he won.

I don't think it's bad for his image or the UFC, no damage done. it was a momentary somewhat out of character type deal. no harm no foul. plus it was fucking vegas, I bet 20% of the crowd was coked up, a few curse words aren't anything to call the morality police over when I'm sure plenty of the crowd were guilty of far worse things that night...whether it was on tv or not.

he had less enthusiasm because it was anti-climactic.

he choked shogun out with only 10 seconds left in the fight and everybody went nuts.

this went to a close decision that he knew people were gonna be screaming controversy over. he said himself it was close, they need to do it again. I think he wanted to win in more convincing fashion. a win by KO or submission is always gonna generate a more animated response than a decision.
