Yeah I was being sarcastic. you didn't mention which fight but of course we knew who you meant.
Actually I think Rogan was nut hugging Forest BAD, But Goldie was semi-unbiased.

Yea, that's what I thought.
Rogan said that Forrest was winning and Goldie said something to the effect of " I don't know if I agree with you there"
But again, I was totally trashed and kinda out of it, so there is no telling what I really heard and didn't.lol
But I thought that's what I heard.lol

Not to stick up for them here, but I think it would be extremely hard to be unbiased and call a fight. Everyone has favorites they want to win, and they're going to lean that way.
Clearly judges do it.

When Rampage dropped Forrest in the 1st that was his first offense of the fight & it was with like 1:30 left... so Forrest controlled the first 3:30 & was winning the round, and I still gave him the round since he got up from the shot & took control of the center of the octagon again.
Maybe the reason Rogan & Goldie were saying Forrest's name so much more than Rampage's is because Forrest landed 20 more punches & 33 more kicks during the fight.
This wasn't a questionable decision, Forrest controlled the octagon from the get-go... & other than a knock down in the first & a good 4th Round, Rampage didn't do anything to win the fight.

No just in general. I wanted with all my heart for Rampage to win, but there's no doubt Forrest beat him. I think Forrest was hurt more than he let on, and if rampage would have let go he could have finished him. But the knee kicks made him apprehensive

i thought it was funny how especially in the fourth and fifth rounds evertime rampage threw a punch Goldberg would blurt out "he rocks forest" even though the majority didnt come close to landing clean.....

Umm yeah that's bullshit. If your commentating a fight then you need to be a professional and not let your personal feelings affect your performance.

when you find a professional announcer that NEVER shows bias I'll believe it.
Until then, it's a nice dream. I'd concede your argument but I don't think you'll find one that hasn't been accused at some time.
