Forrest shines when he is interviewed, and this was no exception. He is the type of personality that can spark interest in the non-fan. I think that he and BJ are the most marketable fighters in the world under contract right now. you better believe Dana is wishing for a upset.

He only asked for the howl twice, at the beginning and end, and what's wrong with asking a fighter to do their gimmick? He couldn't have known Page would be too exhausted to howl :P And at least he stuck to the fight and didn't start grilling Page about what he did for a living before fighting. Agreed that right BEFORE weighins was a bad slot for the interview though... it should have been an hour AFTER, when they'd got a gallon of fluid back into their body. @#9: The Page interviewer was much better.

I've never cut weight so I can't say first hand, but everything I'm told is that its is agony. The 'tard is the producer at ESPN that scheduled the interviews just prior to weigh-ins.

TIP: Start with things fans would like to hear for the fight tonight. Not about his being a cop before his MMA career.

Have you ever seen Police Squad with Leslie Neilson? How fast can a police car go? Aren't you in some sort of an athletic event this weekend?" That guy, and almost everyone at ESPN, is a tool bag. “So Forrest, who was your favorite character on Police Academy? Have you ever seen Police Squad with Leslie Neilson?

Just because some people don't watch the sport doesn't make them retarded. He might not of known what was up but he wasn't disrespectful in any regard. I don’t get the hatred at all.
