Kolohe, you said you lost all respect for Forrest because he helped throw the fight? If he truly did then shouldn't you lose respect for the UFC as a whole and quit watching? If this fight was fixed then there surely could have been a bunch more in the past that were fixed too.
You see fights get fixed all the time its no secret, we're not blind, and so does every other sport out there. But lke I said, I'm over it, why do you continue to keep pushing the subject on me, its like trying to give a beer to a recovering alcoholic, please stop!!!
It just seems you're hanging out Forrest to dry without any actual proof. If fights are always fixed then why do you continue to watch UFC? What if BJ was part of a fixed fightin the past, Hendo, Couture, Sylvia, etc..
That's all I'm asking.
For one who said fights were always fixed in the UFC?? Don't put words in my mouth.
I loss respect if he did or didn't fix the fight. If he did that's just messed up. If he didn't, then all that training only to give up cause of a short jab and run off like that (when in fact I've seen him take on more damage in past fights). Where's the respect for the fans after running off like that?? Who left who out to dry?? All this speculation on why he ran off, yet no real confirmation??
And I've told you 3 times now, that I'm over it.
You were implying that fights were fixed before in the UFC and all other arenas. I never said that you said that all UFC fights are fixed. C'mon man quit dodging the point.
You're hanging him up to dry no matter what without any confirmation.
Did you lose money on this fight?
We'll know for sure when we hear from him personally whether he actually tapped out or was just putting up his hand to defend himself. Point is he got dropped 3 times prior to that counter strike (ala Chuck Liddell) that knocked him off his feet. Maybe all those prior beatings finally caught up to him. One thing's for sure...his gameplan was an utter fail and Silva toasted him like a contending P4P fighter should.

What do you think the bold means?? But what I said was, people think it isn't possible for fights or any other sports to be fixed (reply 4731). Would I stop watching sports as a whole if I knew it was fixed, of course not, its an addiction or we are fanatics. BUT if you could prove that a single person fixed a fight or all his fights, I would stop watching him. For instance, when I was in Vegas for the Tarver vs. Jones 1 fight, the decision on that fight was soooo obvious who won it, then next thing you know Jones is the winner. Tarver dominated Jones that entire fight. After that I stop following Jones as a fan.
As for me hanging Griffin out to dry, didn't my reply or my two reasons before this one make any sense. I gave you a reason if it was fixed and if it wasn't, what aren't you getting??? In the end its my opinion, can I ask why you care so much??
