"heres the thing about all this talk of forrest" forrest is #1 in my book, and he wanted just like the others befor him to win against silva ,and he lost , forrest hates silva just like i do, so he got up and walked off so what. "he hates silva" I,m not wanting to talk to some punk that want kick in the face. forrest knows he will be interviewed lots after the the fight anyway so no big rush. at the time the fight ended he was pissed off
forrest stated numerous times in interviews before the fight he thought anderson was the best in the world and he was going to get battered, he got battered and wanted to get the fuck out imo
Yes it was unsportsmen like for Griffin to leave the ring in that manner, however Silva wasn't exactly the the model of sportmenship by dropping his hands and basically taunting Griffin during the fight. That fight was embarressing for Griffin it wasn't sportmenlike but I don't blame him.
i saw that fight, and actually it was that bad, forrest was actually landing shots, not hard ones but he still landed some, then out of nowhere gets clip and goes down, and i was like wtf. i don't think he really perpared for that fight, he was busy with a lot of things during training
@obqb8 Its anderson silva one of the biggest names in mma history why wouldnt he be prepared? How do you kno that forrest was busy during training? do you train with him?
@stronnize ha and you say i have no life? dude you need to chill out and get the dick out of your mouth, maybe one day your balls will drop, but i don't think that will happen with you. haha fag
does anybody knows which interview is the one that Forrest says: "I never said i was that good, but there's nobody in this sport at 205 that you put me in and i won't make it a fight"
man, that loss was pretty embarrassing. I don't blame Forrest for running out. I don't think he was angry at anyone but himself for a poor performance.
i think the bottom line is that he knew anderson was most likely going to dominate him yet he had the balls to fight him anyway.
i like forrest griffin. i think he is a great fighter, but that was the most embarassing loss i have ever seen. i don't think he knew what to do so he just reacted and ran out.
Um forrest didn't take off to go cry, he had to take a crap during the whole fight he just wanted to lose and get it over with and when it was over he had to get out of there so he didn't crap himself in front of millions of people, can't blame the guy for that cmon.
Anyway this next piece isn't aimed at you guys but something on my mind lately. I just think it's shameful for people to pretend to understand how a situation like that would feel. So many arrogant people act like they have the right to judge these amazing athletes and they pick whichever fighter won and say they "beat the shit" out of the other fighter like a bunch of fickle children. That fighter would still destroy you. You've no idea how dedicated these men are.
@shekone... A youtubber said something I agree with, the American Fans (and many other nations) only like fighter who are winning or successful. Japanese fans like YOU. I saw that kind of stuff when chuck was past his prime, loads of fans began crapping on him. The Japanese fans like you even if you lose as long as you show heart or personality.
Forrest has turned a lot of heads in the UFC and brought a charismatic approach that the sport has never seen. I think it's ridiculous for him to get any heat for losing to a fighter as great as Silva regardless of not taking it well. I can only imagine how crushing it is to be outclassed and knocked out in the first round when you have a reputation of being the man who never quits. Seriously, no one has heart like Griffin. I can't imagine anyone seeing him as disrespectul.
I agree with the gloriously bearded dude that griffin should not have been striking with silva, I wouldn't advise any other fighter to...ever. His agility in combination with his intense striking power in a southpaw stance creates an absolutely ridiculous, and as forrest said best, an unemulatable stand up game. Not to mention he gained 30 pounds to get to light heavyweight which seriously looked like it was all in his arms and lats.
I'm a huge Griffin fan and I got to tell you that I don't think what he did is so wrong or unsportsman like. I have seen other fighters do that same thing and nothing is said about them but because Forrest did it now suddenly everyone is talking about it. I mean come on. I don't know and I don't think anyone will ever know but Forrest and so I think we should all just stop the tash talking about him and let it go.
Run Forrest! Run! Maybe he had just watched the Forrest Gump movie who knows... Now seriously... Silva usually is a class act. During the fight he did drop his guard to try to induce Forrest into attacking him like a maniac, something he had said in an interview before the fight he wouldn't do. But like he also have said before, fighters have a gameplan but once you're there, it goes out the window. I'm a fan of both fighters and I was seriously disappointed to see Forrest run from the cage.
nah i dont think he was running away from crying on ppv it was because anderson made forrest look like a fool. you could tell forrest was deff not prepared for this fight and the knockout was inevitable. even if forrest was better prepared anderson still would have won.
Very disrespectful.Especially to a real mma guy like Silva who bows to opponents.Have you seen the first interview he did with his little buddy?He was still very short about it.He was that embarrased and can't just admit it!
i think that it would have been a lot better if griffin would have just told the camras that he did not wont to talk. thins is a sport so the fighters need to have sportsmanship and griffin beenig such a good guy it looks rilly bad for him... and what do yall mean silva is a heal?? he is a nice guy just like griffin just you dont speak portugues
Maybe you will get a somewhat happy ending if Carwin can catch Lesnar on Nov. 7th to make up for the loss Tito will hand Forrest that night. Forrest is done!
Who gives a fuck if he didn't give an interview? You can get killed in one of these fights. It's not a fucking joke. I can't blame fighters if they don't feel like doing the celeb thing afterward.
who cares if it was unsportsman like or not...that shit was funny!!!! Got knocked out...jumped up and ran.... it just looked crazy, plain and simple. Getting your ass kicked by a great fighter isn't embarrassing, but running away with a towel on your head immediately afterward like a little bitch, is.
There's absolutely no shame in losing to Anderson Silva. Especially an Anderson who needs to destroy someone because his last two opponents were too afraid to exchange with him and his fans somehow twisted it to make him look bad. Forest is still a great fighter, a contender, and will learn from this loss.
was forrest unsportsmanlike? no i dont think so from the start everyone knew forrest had a lot of respect for silva if anything was unsportsmanlike it was silva prancing around and dropping his hands showing no respect for his stand up and i think thats why i think he got so emotional not the fact he lossed everyone knows he can take a loss like a man from previouse fights but the fashion in which it happend if silva didnt prance around then yeah i would of been pissed he walked off
It doesn't matter if it's a main event or not, Forrest gets paid by the money the UFC pulls in from the fans. It is his JOB to not only fight, but also to do interviews and promote the sport. Hiding from the fans doesn't help. If you're into combat sports you have to be mentally prepared, Griffin just wasn't.
He can't stand to lose. Give the guy a break. He got he ass kicked. How embarrassed would you be if you got knocked out in first round? He wasn't pissed at Anderson. Forrest let his own self down. All i can say is god have mercy on his next opponent.
Sore loser? Unsportsmanlike? If you have watched any of the pre-fight interviews, you would know that Forrest respects Anderson Silva. If you know anything about Forrest, you would know that his heart is as big as a basketball and that he mentally and physically refuses to lose. Forrest is a true warrior, and he has the spirit of a champion. He might not be the best, but it is his will to be the best. He came off a loss only to fight the p4p best. That's true heart and fearlessness.
I think Forrest quit the fight, even before he entered the cage. I love Forrest but I think he was a bad sport, at least shake your opponents hand before you leave. Jusy my humble opinion! I think Forrest is a great guy, but Anderson also seems like a great and honorable person, very eager to please the US fans. I mean what is not to like about Silva? The guy is unstoppable!
The loss came in such a humiliating way that it was acceptable and understandable. Anderson Silva played with him, danced around him and beat him completely with no room for explanations. Fighters need to be confident and charged with feeling when coming to the fight, but Forrest's confidence was utterly destroyed in the Octagon that night. If he has nothing to say, there's no reason to stay on screen to sob and humiliate yourself any further.
Awesome video and great points made all around. I like the fact that each one of you guys are different with one person wanting to be logical, the other a little biased, and a wild card.
Makes for interesting arguments. Thumbs up.
I do think Forest was unsportsmanlike but his actions are understandable. He lost in a very humiliating fashion so him walking out wasn't that big a deal. Worth mentioning since fighters are expected to be respectful at all times but let's not dwell on this.
I really like Forrest myself, but I have to admit, after seeing him run out of the ring for the "2ND" time (yes, this is not the 1ST time he's done it) my level of respect for him has gone way down.
It takes character and heart to "lose" like a man. Anyone can be a good winner, that does not take any character at all. But to show courage in the face of defeat, now THAT's what garners respect.
I was amazed at GSP when he lost to Serra. Now that was character.
The only reason you think of silva as a heel is the fact that he can't speak english...he might be nice and have a hilarious sense of humor like griffin
forrest griffin does deserve the criticism for his actions because we expect him to be more sportsman like and it was a main event and to people saying hes the only one criticized for it its jus like Silva is the only one criticized if he doesnt knock someone out in 2 rounds
i was so hyped hoping he would win because it realy would have been the greatest upset ever. Who can beat him??? Also i would cry too if anderson silva punched me in the face lol
Silva a heel? He's the classiest most respectful guy in mma. He even helped Forrest up before he K him TFO! Seriously, It's hard to relate to Silva on a personal level because of the language barrier. But I can certainly relate to him as a fighter.
@Pelle2k you know what? Your right! And the weirdest thing about you posting is that coincidentally. I was thinking about this fight earlier today, and how cheeky it was for him to offer him a hand up just to beat him again. Kind of toying with him like he did with Maia. I must have some kind of psychic link with youtube. This is really weird, I posted my comment 8 months ago, thought about the fight earlier this morning, then get a reply the same day. You should see my face I'm tripping out lol
everyone takes losses differently... forrest was the victim of one of the most embarassing knockouts in ufc history in front of millions of people... if i were him i prolly woulda wanted to get the fuck outta there too
well me be honest here, some of u guys are biased, but that how life is , iam too if u ask me about picking fighters. i have my own favourite fighter but i would like you guys to do review on the predictions so that listen to ur opions on the picks and whether ur fighter won or loss. it would be interesting
It's a term that started in professional wrestling.
A "face" is the hero of the staged match. Someone like a Hulk Hogan and a "heel" is the fighter fans usually love to hate (someone like an Iron Sheik).
k i just want to point this out real quick.when this fight was first announced i knew silva was taking this fight in the first by ko.forrest can take punches in bunches but not from a guy like silva.forrest fight style was very reminiscent of rich franklin so does their body type.hes 2 big 2 slow and he just came off a lose i dont know why he and dana agreed for this fight. he was being fed 2 the wolves and i do feel bad for him in a sense but he is a pro he should take a loss like one
Silva made Forrest look like an absolute fucking fool, he dominated him worse than anything I have seen in quite a while. He pushed the pace and crushed Griffin with his hands at his sides. I can't even imagine how bad I would feel if someone did that to me in front of millions of people. WITH THAT BEING SAID.......of course Griffin was a bad sport for doing what he did, BUT, I can't blame him. And fuck Brock Lesnar.
QUOTE FROM GRIFFIN'S BOOK: "This mental toughness must be developed BEFORE you start fighting because you don't want to be that guy who quits in the ring--that's unforgivable. Of course, if your opponent has your arm and he gives you a chance to cry uncle before he breaks it, hey brother, you got to tap so you can fight another day...but if you quit because you don't want to get hit anymore, you took the hairy vagina way out. If you want to be a man, take hits and get knocked the fuck out."
forrest griffins a fuckin lozer,, he has the biggest ears out of all fighters he should of fought with his ears HAHAHAHA he should of flew out the ring like dumbo thats fukcin dumb hoe
It was incredibly Unsportsmanlike for Forrest to just run out of the ring after the fight. You would never ever see that happen in any of the major sports. Being a good sport is conducting yourself well when you're winning AND losing, Forrest was a sore loser, simple as that.
he got knocked out by rashad evans and still stayed in the ring and spoke after the fight. I think it was the manor of how he got knocked out in the silva fight which made him embarassed considering he went 3rounds with rashad and wasnt getting outschooled
a sell out? hmmmmmmmmm ok explain? do you even know the definition of a sell out? i dont really think he gained any fans from the fight and rather lost some. i dont feel that forrest should of stayed to talk to joe he was completely embarrased and ashamed of himself but who cares. i love forrest griffin he never trash talks or shit he just says it how it is. i would rather him run away 100 times than to make up lame excuses of why he lost. lauthernticl your obviously a moron
You guys are typical dumb American rednecks. You act like the owners of MMA.
You should remember that martial arts were born outside the US, long time before you retards were, or even before anyone had heard of George Washington. Everything you Americans have "contributed" to MMA, is that you are making a big Hollywood-type business and show out of it. This is a big shame.
i think forrest whimped out in that fight and just plain gave up, he wasnt knocked out. thats why he ran out, cause he just faked a knock out and knew it was obvious so he ran out of embarassment from that. if he got legit knocked out, he would have stayed in the ring and said good fight and talked to rogan and so on.
It was unsporting but if he was going to be crying then im glad he ran out. If forest would have stayed and balled his eyes out then i think it would have taken some off the lime light off Anderson which he deserved that night, So i do think it was unsporting that he didnt stay for the official desicion but i also think in a way, it was good of him.
how is Anderson Silva you beard having son of a bitch!?!?! LOL no just kidding, just kidding i love your videos. But i must say that i dont think anderson silva is a heel in anyway, he is a super nice and cool guy...to me anyway SO GUYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!
Great video. When Forrest shows such high levels of sportsmanship in every other aspect of the game surely we can forgive him an emotional moment.
Forrest isn't the first man to leave after the fight but he's the only one I'm aware of being criticized for - but that may be because he such a great guy he's the only one I care to find news about post-fight.
I still am a big Forrest fan and hope to hear some news about him soon - don't think an apology is necessary.
I asked in your last video if you were going to do something about the "Run Forrest Run" scandal at 101... and you guys posted this video. So I thought I'd try it again... here we go...
Just wondering if you guys had ever thought about doing a video AFTER the fights are over, to wrap it up and comment on what would be next based on the outcomes? Just a thought...
We have thought about doing post event videos as well but our videos take too long to make. We have very high production standards that we try to achieve. If we were just using a webcam it would be different.
Whenever a truly buzz worthy topic comes up such as Forrest running or GSP grease gate, we usually make videos on the topic.
I'm glad you guys did this video because I can't seem to shake the question from my brain. Forrest Griffin was and still is my favorite fighter, but I'm very confused by his continued silence on the matter.
Frankly, I don't care for an explanation or apology of any sorts from him.. but at this point I'd like him to just show face and thank all the fans who've been blowing up the message boards and his myspace with support.
It's not so embarrassing to lose to a worthy opponent as Silva.
its kind of hard to be a sportsman when you get absolutly humilated like that. he did the right thing by running out. he DIDNT derserve to be in the same cage as anderson silva. on that night.
i like forrest i do, he should have stayed and gave anderson silva the respect he deserved but i believe forrest will apoligize and hopefully get back up into a title shot
People also pointed out that going by Forrest's own words in his book he failed his own mma test of conduct by running out like that.
One other small thing I noticed about Forrest. He does good against fighters who underestimate him. He has a great act that too many people fall for especially his fans. He goes around talking as if he isn't that great win or lose and give it his all. In reality he wants to win and thinks he can win if his opponents don't come prepared.
Forrest thought he would go in there and fight the same Anderson who fought Cote and surprise him but instead he got the Silva who fought Franklin but more savvy.
Anderson literally counts how many times you try to hit him and tries to return each one with interest. He spars with people like Machida so it would take a great great great well rounded fighter to really beat him and Forrest is just good but not Great.
Anderson basically told Forrest that he wasn't in the same league as him.
Getting ko'd can do funny things to you, so I don't class it as being "un-sportsman like". I do wonder how many of you out there have fought in front of thousands of people? And I wonder how many of you fight full stop? To call him a baby is some what childish and is a pathetic argument as the guy got in the ring with one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.
You guys have to understand that the reason Anderson did that to Griffen is because he knew that Forrest was the guy who the UFC and its fans wanted to see beat him the most.
He basically baited for a real fight in his last two and when he got it he was going to make a statement. For him it was perfect that they chose Griffen because I think he loved the feeling of embarrassing the guy who many thought could beat him.
He wanted to send a message & Forrest had no idea what he was getting into.
Was it un-sportsman like? Of course it was. No "sportsman" would ever do that. But that's okay. Forrest is a fighter, not a sportsman, not a gentleman, not a stud. Just a fighter, through and through, for better or worse. And that's why we love him.
I can see both sides of the argument. But one of the things you have to realize about anderson is he is probably one of the most respectful fighters out there. Watch the post fight interview, he praises forrest for being a champion and has nothing negative to say about the guy. He's "disrespectful" in the ring for a reason. It's part of his game plan. Think, if someone did that to you while you were fighting you'd be PISSED and start swingin which is exactly what happened. Love both fighters tho
wow no offense but you would have been way better off making a video about anderson silva being unsportsman like. Forrest wanted to leave and not get interviewed and that was fine. what was disrespectful was when anderson stuck his hands out to help griffin during the fight. he was mocking him and that was f-ed up. he knew he was winning so why did he have to act so disrespectful by sticking his hands out and making griffin look like a little b1tch. anderson was unsportsman like
He stuck his hand out 2 times before in a fight, and both fighters rejected it. Forrest was the only one to take it & stand up. It's not unsportsman-like but you could say it's gotten a bit repetitive. Frankly I don't care, I thought it was awesome the first time he did it. Probably why he continues to.
Forrest should have stayed. Come on, spare me of the "emotional" excuse. He shouldn't be a baby who runs away when he loses, but runs around and cheers when he wins. None of Silva's other victims did that.
Okay I'm halfway through this & I can tell I don't like the middle guy. Does he add any input besides "Yeah"? I mean wtf. Talk about a useless yes man. I like the fat guy though. Seems genuinely interested with his facial expressions. Plus he looks jolly :D
The second half is his whole idea. Though he seems pretty "unsure" and like he has to keep other people to help him with his opinions. His prediction videos aren't bad though.
I love the intro to this. It should be the intro to almost everything out there instead of that Closed captioning shit or that "viewer discretion is advised" bull. Very good.
forest did lose and but you have to admit he is a standup guy and he doesnt want fans to see him at anything but 100%. I dont blame him, and you guys are great keep up the awesome job, oh yea i caught what you guys said about gsp being the best fighter pound for pound and I couldnt agree more!
I can definitely understand why he ran away at the end of the fight especially since I watched his pre-fight comments. He said "You might beat me, but you'll never break me." Anderson Silva broke him to the point Forest Griffin gave up and that had to hurt.
If this is how hard Forest is getting criticized, if any other fighter did this they'd lose their contract! Forest is a fan favorite and always will be, but if anyone else did this they would get hounded. Only GSP could pull this off : P
im not so much that he ran out of the cage, i mean yeah i guess we all know he wasn't going to win at this point. but he just threw his hands up and gave up its not like he was out or finished. i mean he had enough to get up and bolt out of the cage.
BIG DEAL Forrest left the cage because he was emotional and had nothing to say, it's not as if he slapped Anderson's hand away as he was trying to shake it.Was another 2 sec interview where he claims he got KTFO again neccessary.He had no reason to stay, if you guys are upset because a fighter was too emotional to stick around to shake his opponents hand then your watching fighting for the wrong reason.
Well its his second time running out of the octagon but both times he got embarrassed. But Silva really did a number on him but I still think he should have stayed but if he couldn't control himself and was crying then yeah I wouldn't want that captured on the big screen either. That would be far worse.
I think the hype got to forest and deep down he was scared, as soon as silva started taunting him, he got flustered and showed his nerves. Forest gave up, felt stupid and ran....that's my theory of what happened. Forest is one of my favorite fighters but that was not cool! I read his book "Got Fight" and he kept bringing up manliness and being a man. well there is nothing manly about running away. Shame on you Forest, shame on you!
If U whoop ass like a man, then take yo ass whoopin like a MAN, i've also seen him sit around in the cage and cry like a bitch after losing, either he's a bitch, or a child!!
know what? lets cut through the cup cake here ok? this is the second time he's done this now. the first time he got knocked out and ran like a bitch we, the fans, understood that. he gets embarrassed by the p4p king and he does it again? enough is enough. that was straight cowardice from griffin. where was his so called toughness and heart after the fight? when he wins, he stays for the glory but when he loses he dashes out like a girl? (no offense to my female readers) but griffin is a bitch.
forrest is the shit he is one of the top 10 light heavyweight fighters and he takes losing that hard because he trains to win harder than any1 else in the ufc and that fight probly meant the world to him so in my opinion he has the right to run out of the cage.forrest should at least do an interview and probly fight again soon
i agree with niko,,forrest got his feelings hurt.If they wouldve fought for atleast..till the end of the round, i think forrest wouldve stayed and congradulated him. But he got embarassed and burnt out
Hey forest acted like a punk, hes hiding and he the guy who wrote a finking book about fighting.. he could at least say something by now about why he ran but we get nothing so he lost respect in my eyes ..
Some people shout STFU. Forrest was in there busting his balls to win and entertain you guys. He doesn't have to talk if he doesn't feel like it. He's a fighter, not a preacher.
I think the way Silva acted towards the end of the fight had something to do with it. Silva started taunting and posturing like a bully big brother and then to all appearances just slapped him down. Now I don't know about you but Ive been that little brother before and the last thing you want to do is sit there in the same room as the bully and act nice.
Thanks for this video guys! Great job on keeping the balance on this 'tricky' issue.
I think Forrest should have stayed in the cage until they raised Silva's hand and then he could have taken off, that's fine. If you don't want to talk to Joe Rogan then its cool to leave - but show the proper respect to your opponent.
Forrest =sore loser hands down! He was thrown to the wolves by Dana White. Forrest was lied to by his camp, his fans when they told him he had a chance. It was like throwing a club fighter in there with Muhammad Ali .Silva was putting his hands down, and standing rite in front him and dissin him staight to his face less than 3 min into the fight becuz he knew there wuz nuthin he culd do about it. Kinda likewhen Ricky Hatton fought Manny Pacquiao a couple months ago. Heart alone isnt enuff.
i don't think it was completely unsportsman like. Griffin's a great fighter, and a good guy all around. And i do kind of agree with you guys, if it was Lesnar, i'd never let anyone hear the end of it.
In all honesty...I don't know hot to feel without knowing all the details for sure. What I do know is Anderson Silva mad him look Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddd...real bad,very bad,extra bad,sh.tty bad,to bad,did I mention he kicked his azz bad?
I don't think we have any right to judge Forrest's actions, we don't know what it feels like to be beaten like that. If that's how Forrest has to cope, then let him be, I don't see it as unsportsmanlike at all.
Also, I'm surprised no one seems to be mentioning the actions of Silva which could definitely be argued as unsportsmanlike. Refusing to raise your hands out of a lack of respect for a guy's skills. That seems disrespectful and unsportsmanlike to me.
i heard that he ran out cuz he shit his pants

Um forrest didn't take off to go cry, he had to take a crap during the whole fight he just wanted to lose and get it over with and when it was over he had to get out of there so he didn't crap himself in front of millions of people, can't blame the guy for that cmon.

Anyway this next piece isn't aimed at you guys but something on my mind lately. I just think it's shameful for people to pretend to understand how a situation like that would feel. So many arrogant people act like they have the right to judge these amazing athletes and they pick whichever fighter won and say they "beat the shit" out of the other fighter like a bunch of fickle children. That fighter would still destroy you. You've no idea how dedicated these men are.

@shekone... A youtubber said something I agree with, the American Fans (and many other nations) only like fighter who are winning or successful. Japanese fans like YOU. I saw that kind of stuff when chuck was past his prime, loads of fans began crapping on him. The Japanese fans like you even if you lose as long as you show heart or personality.

Forrest has turned a lot of heads in the UFC and brought a charismatic approach that the sport has never seen. I think it's ridiculous for him to get any heat for losing to a fighter as great as Silva regardless of not taking it well. I can only imagine how crushing it is to be outclassed and knocked out in the first round when you have a reputation of being the man who never quits. Seriously, no one has heart like Griffin. I can't imagine anyone seeing him as disrespectul.
shekone 2 years ago
I agree with the gloriously bearded dude that griffin should not have been striking with silva, I wouldn't advise any other fighter to...ever. His agility in combination with his intense striking power in a southpaw stance creates an absolutely ridiculous, and as forrest said best, an unemulatable stand up game. Not to mention he gained 30 pounds to get to light heavyweight which seriously looked like it was all in his arms and lats.
shekone 2 years ago
I'm a huge Griffin fan and I got to tell you that I don't think what he did is so wrong or unsportsman like. I have seen other fighters do that same thing and nothing is said about them but because Forrest did it now suddenly everyone is talking about it. I mean come on. I don't know and I don't think anyone will ever know but Forrest and so I think we should all just stop the tash talking about him and let it go.

Run Forrest! Run! Maybe he had just watched the Forrest Gump movie who knows... Now seriously... Silva usually is a class act. During the fight he did drop his guard to try to induce Forrest into attacking him like a maniac, something he had said in an interview before the fight he wouldn't do. But like he also have said before, fighters have a gameplan but once you're there, it goes out the window. I'm a fan of both fighters and I was seriously disappointed to see Forrest run from the cage.

There's absolutely no shame in losing to Anderson Silva. Especially an Anderson who needs to destroy someone because his last two opponents were too afraid to exchange with him and his fans somehow twisted it to make him look bad. Forest is still a great fighter, a contender, and will learn from this loss.

It doesn't matter if it's a main event or not, Forrest gets paid by the money the UFC pulls in from the fans. It is his JOB to not only fight, but also to do interviews and promote the sport. Hiding from the fans doesn't help. If you're into combat sports you have to be mentally prepared, Griffin just wasn't.

Sore loser? Unsportsmanlike? If you have watched any of the pre-fight interviews, you would know that Forrest respects Anderson Silva. If you know anything about Forrest, you would know that his heart is as big as a basketball and that he mentally and physically refuses to lose. Forrest is a true warrior, and he has the spirit of a champion. He might not be the best, but it is his will to be the best. He came off a loss only to fight the p4p best. That's true heart and fearlessness.

The loss came in such a humiliating way that it was acceptable and understandable. Anderson Silva played with him, danced around him and beat him completely with no room for explanations. Fighters need to be confident and charged with feeling when coming to the fight, but Forrest's confidence was utterly destroyed in the Octagon that night. If he has nothing to say, there's no reason to stay on screen to sob and humiliate yourself any further.

I do think Forest was unsportsmanlike but his actions are understandable. He lost in a very humiliating fashion so him walking out wasn't that big a deal. Worth mentioning since fighters are expected to be respectful at all times but let's not dwell on this.

I really like Forrest myself, but I have to admit, after seeing him run out of the ring for the "2ND" time (yes, this is not the 1ST time he's done it) my level of respect for him has gone way down.
It takes character and heart to "lose" like a man. Anyone can be a good winner, that does not take any character at all. But to show courage in the face of defeat, now THAT's what garners respect.
I was amazed at GSP when he lost to Serra. Now that was character.

QUOTE FROM GRIFFIN'S BOOK: "This mental toughness must be developed BEFORE you start fighting because you don't want to be that guy who quits in the ring--that's unforgivable. Of course, if your opponent has your arm and he gives you a chance to cry uncle before he breaks it, hey brother, you got to tap so you can fight another day...but if you quit because you don't want to get hit anymore, you took the hairy vagina way out. If you want to be a man, take hits and get knocked the fuck out."

People also pointed out that going by Forrest's own words in his book he failed his own mma test of conduct by running out like that.
One other small thing I noticed about Forrest. He does good against fighters who underestimate him. He has a great act that too many people fall for especially his fans. He goes around talking as if he isn't that great win or lose and give it his all. In reality he wants to win and thinks he can win if his opponents don't come prepared.
shaheed79 2 years ago
Forrest thought he would go in there and fight the same Anderson who fought Cote and surprise him but instead he got the Silva who fought Franklin but more savvy.
Anderson literally counts how many times you try to hit him and tries to return each one with interest. He spars with people like Machida so it would take a great great great well rounded fighter to really beat him and Forrest is just good but not Great.
Anderson basically told Forrest that he wasn't in the same league as him.
shaheed79 2 years ago
Getting ko'd can do funny things to you, so I don't class it as being "un-sportsman like". I do wonder how many of you out there have fought in front of thousands of people? And I wonder how many of you fight full stop? To call him a baby is some what childish and is a pathetic argument as the guy got in the ring with one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.
zenith2000ad 2 years ago
You guys have to understand that the reason Anderson did that to Griffen is because he knew that Forrest was the guy who the UFC and its fans wanted to see beat him the most.
He basically baited for a real fight in his last two and when he got it he was going to make a statement. For him it was perfect that they chose Griffen because I think he loved the feeling of embarrassing the guy who many thought could beat him.
He wanted to send a message & Forrest had no idea what he was getting into.

Was it un-sportsman like? Of course it was. No "sportsman" would ever do that. But that's okay. Forrest is a fighter, not a sportsman, not a gentleman, not a stud. Just a fighter, through and through, for better or worse. And that's why we love him.
mma0tomars 2 years ago
I can see both sides of the argument. But one of the things you have to realize about anderson is he is probably one of the most respectful fighters out there. Watch the post fight interview, he praises forrest for being a champion and has nothing negative to say about the guy. He's "disrespectful" in the ring for a reason. It's part of his game plan. Think, if someone did that to you while you were fighting you'd be PISSED and start swingin which is exactly what happened. Love both fighters tho
DV5th 2 years ago
wow no offense but you would have been way better off making a video about anderson silva being unsportsman like. Forrest wanted to leave and not get interviewed and that was fine. what was disrespectful was when anderson stuck his hands out to help griffin during the fight. he was mocking him and that was f-ed up. he knew he was winning so why did he have to act so disrespectful by sticking his hands out and making griffin look like a little b1tch. anderson was unsportsman like
sacore3 2 years ago
He stuck his hand out 2 times before in a fight, and both fighters rejected it. Forrest was the only one to take it & stand up. It's not unsportsman-like but you could say it's gotten a bit repetitive. Frankly I don't care, I thought it was awesome the first time he did it. Probably why he continues to.

I can definitely understand why he ran away at the end of the fight especially since I watched his pre-fight comments. He said "You might beat me, but you'll never break me." Anderson Silva broke him to the point Forest Griffin gave up and that had to hurt.
If this is how hard Forest is getting criticized, if any other fighter did this they'd lose their contract! Forest is a fan favorite and always will be, but if anyone else did this they would get hounded. Only GSP could pull this off : P

im not so much that he ran out of the cage, i mean yeah i guess we all know he wasn't going to win at this point. but he just threw his hands up and gave up its not like he was out or finished. i mean he had enough to get up and bolt out of the cage.

BIG DEAL Forrest left the cage because he was emotional and had nothing to say, it's not as if he slapped Anderson's hand away as he was trying to shake it.Was another 2 sec interview where he claims he got KTFO again neccessary.He had no reason to stay, if you guys are upset because a fighter was too emotional to stick around to shake his opponents hand then your watching fighting for the wrong reason.

Well its his second time running out of the octagon but both times he got embarrassed.

That would be far worse.

I think the hype got to forest and deep down he was scared, as soon as silva started taunting him, he got flustered and showed his nerves. Forest gave up, felt stupid and ran....that's my theory of what happened. Forest is one of my favorite fighters but that was not cool! I read his book "Got Fight" and he kept bringing up manliness and being a man. well there is nothing manly about running away. Shame on you Forest, shame on you!

Some people shout STFU. Forrest was in there busting his balls to win and entertain you guys. He doesn't have to talk if he doesn't feel like it. He's a fighter, not a preacher.

I think the way Silva acted towards the end of the fight had something to do with it. Silva started taunting and posturing like a bully big brother and then to all appearances just slapped him down. Now I don't know about you but Ive been that little brother before and the last thing you want to do is sit there in the same room as the bully and act nice.

Thanks for this video guys! Great job on keeping the balance on this 'tricky' issue.
I think Forrest should have stayed in the cage until they raised Silva's hand and then he could have taken off, that's fine. If you don't want to talk to Joe Rogan then its cool to leave - but show the proper respect to your opponent.

I saw the Silva vs Griffin fight.. Forrest acted like he got raped. Got Fight? got changed to, "Got Raped"

Forrest =sore loser hands down! He was thrown to the wolves by Dana White. Forrest was lied to by his camp, his fans when they told him he had a chance. It was like throwing a club fighter in there with Muhammad Ali .Silva was putting his hands down, and standing rite in front him and dissin him staight to his face less than 3 min into the fight becuz he knew there wuz nuthin he culd do about it. Kinda likewhen Ricky Hatton fought Manny Pacquiao a couple months ago. Heart alone isnt enuff.

i don't think it was completely unsportsman like. Griffin's a great fighter, and a good guy all around. And i do kind of agree with you guys, if it was Lesnar, i'd never let anyone hear the end of it.

I don't think its right -But! -Griffin can get away with it- just because its him. Dana's little puppet failed and he got emotional.

I don't think we have any right to judge Forrest's actions, we don't know what it feels like to be beaten like that. If that's how Forrest has to cope, then let him be, I don't see it as unsportsmanlike at all.
Also, I'm surprised no one seems to be mentioning the actions of Silva which could definitely be argued as unsportsmanlike. Refusing to raise your hands out of a lack of respect for a guy's skills. That seems disrespectful and unsportsmanlike to me.
