Forrest
I think you lost your last fights because you went below your normal
weight. If the fighter is extra quick, then let him bring the fight to you.
I like the sound of your voice, soundd naturally tough. I don't like the
voices of some of the fighters, cause they sound too squeky to be America's tried and true ultimate fighters. I hope you make a comeback and win for American pride. Separately, I don't like the way ultimate
fighters have their fights arranged by one company. I really feel that ultimate fighting has displaced boxing as America's premier ring contact sport. So I think when title holders fight challengers that they should get paid the same millions that boxers get. I don't think all that money should go to the organization. Some of you fighters have been champions for years, and you should all have Palm Beach homes by now.
Anyway you are one of my favorite fighters, and my favorite for your weight division. I have been a ring sports fan since the Days of Clay and later Alexis Arguao, Roberto Duran, and Marvin Hagler! You are the current Rocky, so get back and win that belt before retiring!
Sincerely a fan who appreciates what effort it takes to become a champion in any sport, and especially hard in your sport!
Thanks for the entertainment you perform for the fight fans! -

Forrest, so I could, without a doubt say that my boyfriend would probably pick you over me any day lol. We recently met Tito Ortiz when he came to Bossier City, Louisiana for the taping of Caged. Needless I say we aren't fans of his but thought it'd be cool to get a pic, so we did. My boyfriend couldn't stop grinning the entire night. As we were leaving he said "Can you imagine what I would have done had I met Forrest?!" I would LOVE to make that possible for him, and I suppose I wouldn't mind meeting you myself!! -

Forrest, I read your books and loved em. I'm a 22 year old who just got done being the first ever "run-first" punter and the college level. I am rollin' a bit with brock larson in st cloud, MN where i go to school. After i read your books, i felt the need to write me own. I published The Man Guide. Grilling, Roundhouse Kicks and Charm. Everything You Need to Know About Becoming a Man. I want to send you a copy. If I give a copy to Brock, would he have the information to get it to ya?

I thought it would be fun to post that my 10 month old looks just like Forest Griffin. We get so many comments so I thought we would post a pic on here. I made the pic my avatar because I dont know how else to post it. Hope you enjoy. -

What's up forrest griffin. I just wanted to post on here that I declared you my favorite fighter and I can't wait to watch you destroy Tito Ortiz again. Only thing I hate is that there's alot of talk around the camp fire stating you lost the love for the game. You gotta keep the dream alive man. I quit watching UFC awhile back but it was because Tito just urked me but mainly because he beat Ken shamrock twice but whatever, he's old. but your now my fav fighter and then Oleg taktarov and Dan Severn although they are both retired from fighting but my question is after my intro of ass kissing prior to this but you arnt losing the love for the octagon are you? And do you think you could take Tito again? Just keep hitting in the spot he had surgery ha. That's it. Appreciate it -

Hello Forrest!
I have just found your fan page online and think it’s great. You are my Favorite fighter in the UFC and the ultimate fighter 7 wouldn’t have been half as good without you. I am a big fan of UFC and martial arts and have been training in kickboxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian jujitsu for 2 years now. I hope to one day get a black belt in something and the UFC and fighters such as you has really made me feel like I could get there if I really put the effort in. I collect your books and want you to release more because they are good to read. I was wondering if you had any spare time if I could send you a copy of my book for you to sign to me as it would make me a little proud to have a signed book of yours. I know that you’re a busy person and I understand if you don’t have the time I would come over to Las Vegas but I live in the UK.
Thanks Ricky -

Hey Forrest, so I am wanting to do something really special for my boyfriend who is a big fan of yours. And I was wondering if I could purchase your book "Got Fight" and if you could possibly write a little message and autograph it for him. Please let me know if this is at all possible I feel a little dumb for writting you I just know he would really love it. I understand if it can't be done, but I look forward to hearing back from you! -

Hi my name is Joshua Arcadio Rosario. I'm writing to you because I am not sure who to speak to about this but I figure who better than the UFC people. I've been wrestling since I was 7 years old and got into mma training at the age of 18. I am currently 20. To make a long story short; there are SO MANY GREAT FIGHTERS where I am at, but no gyms or at least any good ones. I live in Lancaster, PA and the only good gym we had was shut down and will not be reopening it was called Integrated Combat Sports. I highly suggest you open up an ultimate fighting contest like near Philadelphia with a house for us to live in. I have a strong passion to fight but not only that because passion is only part of it, as my family and friends say I have a "beautiful talent”. I need to fight, so many days I go through the need to train watching WEC, UFC and seeing people’s dreams come true I know I can do it. I'm naturally so better than most guys who try out for the UFC like I recently saw on ultimate fighter. I really do not want this talent to go to waste. Please do this, you will not regret it. It will be a GREAT investment.
I will make you proud. -

I became a fan of you from the tv show you won because of your drive and i seen the hunger in your eyes and that is why i watch you fight im not going to sit around and say what you got and why you have fans that you do have you know what and why that is but i will tell you to do what ever you need to do to let us see the fighter we all know you are in a winning way by standing and showing you belong in the cage with the others fighters i can see in your eyes you are not hungry anymore and you need to ask your self why and what made you HUNGRY for the belt you won and do it not for your fans not for anyone but your self if you cant maybe you should ask your self why are "they" the Naysayers telling you to retire -Michigan man -

Dear Forrest Griffin, theirs probably 99.5% of chance that you wont read this, but ill take the other .5. Dont pay any attention to what people say, or the trash they talk. Bottom line is fights can go anywhere. Regardless of what poeple say, you have what nobody else has, a F**** huge heart, and thats something that they can never take away from you. I've been watching you fight since the 1st ultimate fighter, and i know you really really hear this alot, but in a non-gay way, im a f**** huge fan. You see im in the Army, and in the Army, but when i get out im doing MMA. Im no coach or anything, but from watching every single on of your fights honestly I feel that you need to switch training camps and spread your wings out more...explore...get new training partners. Find people that can push you to the limits and show you new things cause thruth is theirs always room for improvment. A place where the people you train with can make you feel like your just an amature again... a place like the AKA or a strong place like that. I think you should work on strength and power behing your shots...cause truth is you probably dont notice, but you land alot of shots...on the feet and on the ground...train on power behing punches and i promise you'll see results. Another area is ground and pound, your a badasss on the ground, but you gotta be more aggresive, strike with more elbows on the ground. Last, motivation. Find your motivation. Search deep. Your a badsass dude. Please dont give up
