Forrest accidentally pioneered calf kicks in UFC

Over and over

He was chewing Rampage up with those kicks. Fun so see them sitting on a table and shooting the shit.

Rampage getting mad like ”man that’s not a mistake if you keep kicking me there over and over”

For a brief period in time Forrest had put it all together with his consecutive wins over Shogun and Rampage. Still incredible to think about when I think back to what Shogun had accomplished over in PRIDE and Forrest was 2-2 going into that fight.

Shogun had a bum knee and was really out of shape, he gassed bad pretty early.

Shogun barely got passed middle aged Coleman either.

He didn't really get healthy and in shape until th first decision loss to Machida. Then he smashed him in the rematch but blew his knee out again and after that he just became a plodding brawler and his kicks were basically gone along with his speed and explosiveness.

I know some people don't care for the co host, but it's been awesome being able to see all these legends sit down and bullshit.

People shit on Forrest way too much here, but he had everything at the time. Huge guy, cardio, BJJ, kicks, and heart. Gave Rashad a pretty close fight until he lost. His losing streak after losing the belt isn't anything different from other champs that lose belts.

Dana owes this guy half his net worth...

I know but we didn't really know any of this until after the fact. I had Shogun KO'ing Forrest in the first round but just by the way he looked and was moving, it was clear something was up. Still a great victory for Forrest but I'm glad Shogun was able to get some measure of revenge even though both were clearly past it and Forrest's head was not nearly in the game as much as it was in 2007.
