I thought he acted very childish after he lost to Jardine. Shit happens sometimes, but you should be mature about it and take your licks with dignity. I can understand him crying after he lost, there's no shame in that. But when Rogan tried to interview him, he said "I got KTFO" and stomped off like a spoiled rich kid who didn't get his way. It pisses me off when ppl do shit like that, even Leben showed more class when he lost to Macdonald and he is known for being a punk. If the UFC is planning on building the future of their company around this guy, then he definitely has some growing up to do.

there's a big diff between lettin out a few tears and thowing a fit like a 5 year old he showed no class and I am now glad he got his ass handed to him

I've always thought Forrest was a little over rated. Not a lot, just being pushed to far. I think he works hard and deserves success, but he's not a top tier fighter. With the precise striking he showed against Jardine and Bonnar, he also showed that he needs improvement to. IDK, I also think Jardine is Under rated, so go figure.

Come on guys, its obvious that Forrest made an immature mistake. He was very emotional after a devasting loss and let those emotions take over. Its not like attacked a fan or anything, he just said I got KTFO and left. Lets get over it here people, he made a youthful mistake thats what young people do. In life its not about avoiding mistakes, its about learning from your mistakes.

When I got knocked out I didn't actually wake up for about seven hours. I was up walking around, but had no clue who I was talking to (after I actually woke up) or what I said. he was REALLY DEVASTATED from that knock out, and he did, in the words of Ed Herman, "Act like a Bitch."

I don't think there is anything wrong with how Forrest reacted. The way he reacted is good for the UFC and MMA in general. The thing the UFC needs the most is more controversy and people behaving badly.

Take a nice hard look at how Tito Ortiz carried himself...how can you come down hard on Forrest on how he acted during his interview? Forrest was honest - he admitted that he got KTFO...he was pissed. Did he generate interest with his behavior? Yes he did! He's got chumps like you talkin and chumps like me responding...this controversy is all good for the UFC - the UFC needs more of it!

Yea, like the people on Jerry Springer and some people in the NBA.

I don't know bout you guys but losing sucks to me. If I lost to a bum who I knew I could easily beat and get caught by a lucky punch, I would be ballin' too. I guess you guys lose a lot so it is easier for you guys to handle it. He knows he's good and every one in the world knows that he won that Tito fight. He just realizes the ladder he has to re-climb to get his title shot. Being classy or not, at least he real with his emotions.
