especially if you were married to him.He was a very dangerous opponent.

People talk about the big four great LHW's maybe add in Forrest as a fifth. It's ignored that Thiago Silva was easily good enough to be in this group. He lost three fights to Machida, Gus and Shad was only finished by Machida. He also got two wins NC'd by the asterisk police. Has a 9-3 UFC record with 7 finishes. Better record than Forrest, better than Rampage, better record than Shogun or Hendo. Yet it's treated like this dude never existed. He was released from the UFC on a two fight win streak. Sure he was mediocre after leaving the UFC but that ain't the point cause no one knew that at the time.
He took a round from Shad at his very best. Did as well as anyone but Machida would have at the time.
but everybody has heard of himGOAT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF.
Different convo.
Who in their right mind has Forrest as one of the great LHWs?People talk about the big four great LHW's maybe add in Forrest as a fifth.

at least on here
the bongos? the throat-slash?
and aren't we diluting the meaning of GOAT with this? Is there a GOAT color blind fighter?

Thiago Silva better record than Shogun and Hendo? Are you high?
Thiago Santos > Thiago Silva
One thing's for sure, he has the greatest highlight video of all time
I mean if there's a set amount of color blind fighters and one is better what are they? You tell me? Would making the goat title lower case help?

So you think UFC = MMA and you wanna ignore their accomplishments in Pride and other organizations?Thiago Silva is 9-3 in the UFC with 7 finishes. Shogun's 10-8 and Hendo's like 9-9? That's just a fact that the record is better. Obv he isn't better those are some of the best to ever do it but his record is better. Rampage is 8-5 in the UFC with 3 finishes and Silva's record is better too.
I basically called Forrest the fifth or sixth best of his era. Maybe seventh. But he was champ and did beat Shogun and Rampage.
