Thanks for the heads up. It should be fixed now
anyone want to comment on what forrest said, no audio….all i saw was a tiger, Bill Mahr, Keith Jardine, Brokeback Mountain, and Forrest looked pissed the whole time
That’s the Gladiator face forrest has the whole time…i wonder what’s eating him!….?

I was going to check out the story, but after this assessment I’ll pass. The only thing that could have made your description any scarier would have been Keith Jardine holding a giant tube of water-based lubricant.
Why Big John Why? Why do u have to talk about GSP and Matt Serra it is your fault that GSP lost. DID u not see the hit in the back of the neck.

forest bought a tiger doesnt like political talker keith did a great job of ko ing him and he likes bbm
Forrest was very unpleasant in this interview. he said he cant lagally speak about his last public street fight, he bought a tiger, has no furniture beacause he hasnt won a fight, and he wants to sign someones baby…

Haha. I remember that part, that is when Matt Serra did the “What’s that over there” maneuver and when GSP turned around Matt Serra punched him in the back of the head right? It wasn’t intentional, and one could argue it was GSP’s fault for not dodging the punch properly. It was an accidental hit, that turned the fight. Big John did what he was supposed to and let the action continue.
forrest is the man!
Forrest kinda sucks in this video. You can see what it is doing to him. He looked on drugs to me. Plus someone should tell him to sell the tiger and buy a couch. He loses another fight and can’t afford to feed the tiger…..We’ll holla Forrest.
I think this interview was done this week which is weight cutting week for the fighters. and from what I understand, it makes you very very cranky and frustrated. And also, I think forrest is in the fight mode.

He’s not fighting till ufc 72 though no? That’s a long ways out to cut weight.

I think this video was done when the UFC had a promo tour going around in the last couple weeks. There are these two vids and two other boring-ass-seen-it-heard-it already vids from Serra and a UFC official. Same background and all. Forrest seemed tired and was just trying to be Forrest “Rampage” Griffen. I think the dudes funny as hell. DO NOT TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY PPL, unless he says he’s going to kick you…..
GSP why oh why do u have to lose now u have to fight a black dude with a blonde hair it does not make sense, sometimes u just have to chillax. and fight some easy fight. and beside u have a year to fight for the championship belt again. AHHHHHHHH Matt Serra i hope u go down hill……

He also said that he likes to roll around with sweaty dudes, and may take his best friend to see a love story between two men. Not that there’s anything wrong with that….

Yeah what’s up with that?
Gosh…even GSP’s fans are whiny girls…
And wasn’t Forrest riffing off on Mike Tyson’s infamous purchase of tigers that he very quickly couldn’t afford to feed?

I think thats why its a joke, like the rest of the interview, and pretty much any interview forrest has ever done…do you know how expensive a tiger would be?? Forrest coulnt afford it

I don’t think they are really hating on GSP. And for certain you don’t need to remind us his abilities, cuz nobody is saying he isnt anyhing but at the top. Were just saying it is uncharacteristic for him to say anythuing. haha dude you don’t “back up excuse” you back up shit talkin. Excuses are just taht, excuses. I think it sucks for GSP cuz being so classy and such a good guy, he involuntarily got sucked into a higher standard, we expect more from him now than other fighters, and when he says something at all, everyone makes a huge deal over it. When if another fighter said the same thing, we would have written it off as meaningless trash talk.
Hating on fighters is the new trend these days, everyone is looking for a new reason.
Forrest never fails to make me laugh.
[quote post=”2203″]”I love a good love film, if it’s two guys no big deal I ain’t gonna judge, and if I wanna see it with my BEST friend, it’s no big deal, i”m just hangin out with my BEST friend”[/quote]
hahahahaha
I love GSP, he is one of my hero, but seeing him lose to serra in this video, gave me a flashback! I watch this fight at a bar and when he lost i started crying. I cried and I cried.
Big John to blame for Gsp’s loss….LOL. Fighters get hit in the back of the head all the time by accident, frequently I hear Big John saying watch the hits to the back of the head. As much as it pains me to admit this Gsp lost period, no one should make excuses for it, they exchanged, gsp got hit and hurt, serra did a perfect job of keeping the pressure on and got the win. I have to admit it I’ve been quite a suck myself about Gsp losing, and really have done a dis service to Serra by saying it was a fluky win. I feel sorry for Serra he conquered Goliath and he’s still getting shit on. I’ve watched a couple of his fights lately, the Karo and Penn fight and am starting to change my views on his abilities. Big John was right when he said most were underestimating Serra, he is a very tough guy and hits very hard he just gassed out with Karo in the second and third round and with Penn it looked very close, almost a draw. Of course I’m not trying to say he’s a better fighter than Gsp but he’s better than most( including myself) give him credit. Unfortunately Serra beat a very beloved fighter who has set a new record for man crushes so I think it was more for that reason people are so hard on him. Serra can be a hot head and speak before thinking sometimes but is over all a decent guy and a good champ.
No serra is not a good champ, he is a midget and he said that matt hughes is a di*k and an a*s, so he is not a good champ. St. Pierre would not say stuff like that espicially on a radio or the television. N plus he talks to much crap. As a matter of fact Serra’s mouth is full of crap.
N so what if i have a man crush on GSP. I dont care cause he is one of my hero.
matt serra caught him on the back of the head yea BUT it was his fault since GSP ducked into it so that’s legal…im a huge GSP fan and yes he’ll be back and to the top in no time..The Anomaly is correct, GSP is only 25!!!!
also Forrest Griffin is hillarious and i hope he stays in the UFC and doesn’t lose his next fight cuz that’s 3 in a row and that would be incredibally embarrassing…it would’ve been nice to see Big John fight one time..
Yeah dude, Serra earned his fight, so what he talked a little bit of crap, cut him some slack if it was anybody but the CHAMP i might say something but he earned it. He ain’t a GSP, but it will show after his next couple fights. GSP is taking crap to Serra is not the only one, just cuz that little comment GSP said. Like I said, some just like to find reasons to hate on fighters.
St. Amour,
The subject of GSP loss has been debated to its end and hearing it again just bores me. GSP is one of my favorite fighters, but he lost, and he lost to the better fighter that night. As for Serra calling Hughes a name, well some agree with him. Serra is just as bad as Hughes, and will not be champ for very many fights (I would say for not very long, but the UFC feels it imperative to make us wait for and ungodly amount of time).
As for Forest, I love that guy (in a non man love way). His myspace has some of the funnest pics of him on it. I f any one is looking for good portraits of Fighters (drawn portrait) Go to Shomanart.com. I got one of Forrest and it is the shit.

Just to clear things up, forrest only lost his last fight, before that he beat Bonnar, then before that he lossed to Tito Ortiz, before that the last time he lossed was to jeremy horn years ago…so its not that emberassing, hes got a good record, just got caught twice, and barely outpointed once…oh also got dry humped by freddy mercury in his first mma fight….the only way “sick dog” can beat forrest is if he catches him, and I dont think Forrest will let that happen this time
