Wsn't a tasteful and sportsman like way to go about it but I do think he won and I thought Forrest would have said I didn't win lets do it again but thats not really a reason to say what he said. Rampage should have finished Forrest and removed all doubt.

Yes I'm sure Forrest would've went right out and said "I didn't win lolz." The fight could've gone either way. It went to Forrest. If Rampage wants a rematch, perhaps he should work his way back up from being a psychotic madman wreckin' cars after being intoxicated by "energy drinks" or whatever the excuse was.

rampages will be in tough for his next fight either way: shogun, wand or griffin. the fight was 3-2 for griffin. rampage got hurt bad with leg kicks, mounted, had a triangle put on him, and overall got out boxed. it was a very close fight but there's no way rampage won.

Sure sounds like he's being a sore loser to me! I'm sure Forrest isn't losing any sleep over the fact that Rampage lost respect for him! What a joke!

disrespectful or not, the man is 100% correct, whether he won or not is arguable, but whether he should get a rematch or not isn't, forrest should lobby for one, because that's probably the only way it gets done.
I agree. After both of those guys watched the fight, they should have both wanted a rematch immediately. It was way too close for there not to be one. Why
Forest hasn't asked for one is beyond me.
Griffin said immediately after the fight that He was ready to do again. It is up to the UFC to make that matchup. Who would win a fight then "lobby" for a rematch? That is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard. Griffin is a good champ and he will fight anybody. I am sure there will be a rematch but there is no reason for an immediate one. Quinton doesn't deserve it.
He gained a lot of respect when he appeared to be gracious in defeat but the retraction completely ruined it for me.
Give'em Chute Boxe!!!

Rampage can be entertaining, but it think he is slightly out of line here. He got beat. Forrest deserves to be champ. He needs to wait in line to get a shot again. Win some fights in a row, let your fighting prove you belong in the LHW elite.

pretty disrespectful. I can understand him thinking forrest didn't win the fight, I am in agreement there, but that doesn't change the fact that the way he's saying it is really disrespectful. I backed him up after the fight, and about the miscarriage thing, but I can't back him here. I get the idea of hyping the fight up in order to get a rematch sooner, but you can do it with more maturity than that.

yeah I guess basically any time anyone agrees or disagrees with a fighter's comments, actions, or attitude, it can be attributed solely to nuthugging and bandwagon jumping. It can't be that people simply form opinions of people based on the way they act and carry themselves. Once you form an opinion it should never change based on new relevant information.
The same way that if a fighter is ever sick or injured he is making up excuses because fighters don't ever get injured or sick, and if they do, they should keep it secret.
I love the generalizations and labels that get applied to people in these forums.

Poor white people. Someone insulted their champion.
That was a close fight and they "gave" the fight to the challenger. Wierd. Suspect and totally incorrect in my estimation.
Forest game planned well and Rampage didn't look he gameplanned, at all.
They should fight agian. I called the Chuck v. Forest fight before they even finished the fight. UFC wants this. Dana wants this. This makes their 18-30 white male demographic happy and allows them to put out two names which are well known and promoted heavily by the UFC.
Then Rampage went on a 'rampage' and made it much difficult for him to get that rematch. That's HIS fault.

the UFC may be a lot of crappy things but i dont think its racist
unless you ask melvin guillard.
i still like rampage and think hes top 5 in the division. those comments are ridiculous though. forrest won a solid decison.
i dont think chuck deserves a shot if he beats rashad though. machida does. but chuck will get it cuz him and dana cuddle at night.
rampage over shogun. *steroids

as far as race goes.........i thik if ANY black fighter loses to a white fighter by decision, the race card is gonna be played.
personally i think racism is just ignorance in action, but I do work with quite a few black folk who like UFC, all of them thought Rampage won, and couldn't explain why. They all have this undeniable theory that Rashad will demolish Chuck, but then can't explain why, and when u ask if its because of race, its some ****** TRAVESTY!!!!
so this is what I have come up with, similar to if I had to go to the hospital for surgery, I wouldn't give a flyin **** if the doctor was white, black, purple, blue or orange, I just want the best. MMA should be no different, whoever is the best on that night should get the respect, stop bring race in as an excuse to why they lost. I am so tired of hearin about race in politics, sports and life in general, I'm not in Alabama and its not the '60's and '70's.
LETS START THE CRTICISM!!!!!!!!!
