"Gray Maynard is the coolest dude I know but he can't undue that tramp stamp"

LMAO, I am not really a fan of Gray’s and that would be one of a bunch of reasons.

I always enjoy footage like this

seeing fighters outside of the fake beef mentality is always awesome, especially when you have two guys like Franklin and Griffin involved.

According to most journalists, Forrest is pretty much just a gimmick to be liked. He’s reported to be a complete asshole in person.

And there’s the whole running away from the Anderson fight at top speeds thing too.

He has two funny books full of the gimmick and a similarly toned twitter...

If it is a gimmick, he has writers feeding him material. He is a weird dude, but I like him.

I wouldn't trust the opinion of journalists in this case.

From what i’ve read, it seems that Forrest just doesn’t like to be interviewed. To a journalist he may be a dick but to fans i’ve heard nothing but good things.

I’d be an asshole too if someone kept asking me about how badly Anderson Silva kicked my ass in front of millions of viewers.

Forrest is a dick to reporters. That doesn’t mean he is a full-time dick. It just means he hates reporters. I have heard nothing but good things from fans who have met him.

You hit the nail on the head.

Forrest has admitted in his books that he doesn’t care for reporters…although I think it depends on who is doing the interviewing and whether or not he has a rapport with the reporter. He’s great with some journalists and then a dick to others. Overall though, I think he’s a good guy.

Forrest is just a dick to people interviewing him.

Hi, guy who interviewed Forrest here. Talked to him on other terms before that and he was very accommodating.

Check out Chester, an Xbox game being developed by a friend.
Then, you can donate to my friend's video game documentary. Any bit helps.
