A little light humor, but there's an undertone of anger, annoyance, and a hunger to Bisping someone.

Haha, right, cause that's what it is. It's everyone elses fault why Forrest is being a pud. It's our fault he stormed out of the ring like a baby. It's our fault he can't accept the loss and needs to be as bland and silly as ever in avoiding questions he doesn't want to hear. Then he and some people on this forum acts as if the media is "bad" and evil for asking questions about the Silva fight and that it's also their fault. It's hilarious that if this was BJ Penn or Tito Ortiz, he'd be getting crucified on this forum for this kind of crap. The way this guy is defended on this forum makes me believe he's the next coming of Christ. I mean, really? Forrest is the victim and the fans and media are the ones to blame? Wow.

People, Forrest is still catching shit because Forrest is STILL doing shit worth catching shit for. You act if he's done absolutely nothing and people are just randomly spewing off different shit.

Hopefully once people are finished cleaning up this guys menstrual bleeding instead of him cleaning it up himself, he'll get back into the cage. If only Wanderlei would stay at 205. Good probability of knocking this clown out.

I would end up getting K/O'd by forrest cuz I really cant stand the cute distancing he does with the wuestions...i would end up being like look asshole you got knocked the **** out you took off out the cage....what was going on in your mind at that point......


While I lay on the floor he may answer to the camera man.......


Props to the interviewer and the patience he showed rolling with it.....

I seriously would like to hear him speak somewhat like an adult AS he HAS done in the past while still being Forrest......


I'll always love him though...Im gay that way....

It's the nature of the business. He obviously can't handle the the pressure. You think he's the first athlete to suffer a tough, demoralizing loss? Come on. The way he's handled himself since the fight has been downright pathetic. He shouldn't get a pass because he's a like able guy.

Think about it, if it were Lesnar in Forrest's situation, there would be ZERO sympathy.

Straight up, Forrest can't control his emotions and IS acting like a baby.

I think...although Michael can speak for himself I think that he is pointing out that Forrest always is kinda that way and believe me I know Carson wants the answers we all do but he realizes Forrest will give them on his time table......

I want what you want dude....I want a sit down interview..leave the jokes.......


Basically Carson is pointing out this is Forrests coping mechanism....

If Forrest is worried about what the fans think, he shouldn't have brought it all on himself by being a baby.

The guy has had enough time to reflect. Shit, the guy got married which I'm sure was a great moment in his life. He should change his tampon and actually man up to this loss instead of avoiding the "tough" questions he knew he would be faced with, with these one word "funny" answers that he's obviously doing because he's still being a baby about the whole issue.

Again, this crap with "coping with peoples shit." Once again, Forrest is the victim and did nothing to earn this criticism. Haha, wow. Nice to see Forrest has to rely on his delusional fanboys to defend himself while he sits there pounding down his midol and being a jackass.

if you don't want to hear people supporting Forrest, try not to involve yourself in threads like this. No sense in driving yourself crazy trying to fight off all of us Forrest supporters just so you can call him a baby.

IMO Forrest is fine. Being mad at him for all this crap is just useless at this point. Who am I to Judge him anyway?

Neither of them are decent strikers.And whats with this nice guy crap? Don't know about franklin but forrest doesn't seem "nice". He's just a douche with the IQ of a dead mouse. Everythings a smart ass little joke with him, and this loss didn;t even humble him. He's now blaming it on "ludes".

griffin :thumbsdown:

To be honest that loss was so humiliating that as a Forrest fan I don't even know what to say about it so I can't imagine how he feels. Basically this is the MMA equivalent to everyone wanting to ask you for an interview about the time you pissed your pants at the office Christmas party. There is nothing to say he was humbled and humiliated and really doesn't need to talk about it anymore than he see's fit. I didn't understand then and still don't understand why any of Forrest's post fight antics have ever been so much of an issue.

If I were Forrest, I would have put this interview out as a feeler which he probably did. Then read the feedback online which he prolly will or someone from his camp. Then I would have the sit down interview with the criticism dialed in...1. answer questions about the Silva fight 2. Look confident 3. Get the sense of humor back....tough to do but this guy will be beloved again as soon as he does.

Hell yeah that interview was awkward but Griffin has charisma and can dial it back in. At least people are "worried" about him and not saying the guy sucks ass and should retire...well most arent (Im keeping my mouth shut coz I don't kick people when they are down.) I say let Forrest start from square one. He needs at least A COUPLE easy fights and I mean Houston Alexander easy.

As a fan I can't stand Forrest Griffin but he's good for the sport and whether I like him or not I can't deny his contribution to the UFC. I think you have to reward contributions like that for life and Dana White has said he would.

He's crearly got some anxiety, I'll give him about a month or two till he gets mad. That's how it goes, when you get knocked down you eventually get back up and get mad. Someone needs to just talk to him, I predict it now, he's going to come back in an interview and talk about how he's changed his mindset and his training and how he handled the Silva thing. He clearly hasn't dealt with it yet, he hasn't even accepted it, poor guy has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

I read his book and he seems like a very mental fighter (i dont mean that in a bad way, just dont have a more eloquent way of putting it). He spends a lot of time talking about his mental preparation for his fights. Im sure he will be back in the right state of mind eventually.

Man he sounds f*cking out of it. He's taking the loss at least as hard as rampage did when he lost to Forrest. He kind of sounded suicidal at the end even. "I generally don't like myself" wtf is that? Hopefully they give Forrest a can for his next fight because another loss would probably drive him to snuff himself.

Please go back and watch other Forrest Interviews. This one is not a lot different. Forrest doesn't focus on the questions, talks about what the interviewer is wearing, makes jokes, heckles himself.

This interview is definitely not a lot different than his others, he just doesn't really like to talk about his loss.

i believe in Forrest Griffin... i also belived in Havey Dent and look where that got me.

he does sound more slurred than normal, not a lot... but some. I'm not sure if it's brain damage or recovery of a severly damaged/dislocated jaw after 2 months.
