    I'm a professional acquisitions editor and just read your book. I wanted to say good job to you and the editorial staff. It was very entertaining and the cover was truly a piece of work. In fact, it was the cover that lured me in.

    That being said, how the hell did you get get BJ Penn to officiate at your wedding? It took his damn manager a week to get back to me about a picture...and here he is giving your marriage last rights. Amazing.

    Just wanted to say you've done it - combined my favorite fighter and my favorite genre of reading. You are my hero. Get well soon, because the only fights I buy on pay-per-view are yours and I'm sure Dana's missing my $$.

    Forrest, I have been a long time fan, from when you were on TUF. I love your personality and humor. You are one of, if not the best fighter in my book. My 5yo goes crazy when we watch UFC and your either fighting or in an interview(probably learned that from me). I always look forward to your fights and appearances. I have read "Got fight" (even though I'm a woman), And NO, It's not too manly for me to comprehend. LOL. I guess I can relate since I grew up with brothers and male friends. I would love to hang out and have a beer with you. I like Corona! I am making the trip to San Jose on Aug 6th to meet you and get my books signed( Got fight and the new one). Hopefully we can take a pic together. Stay Sexy, Stay True & Stay Manly! Jenna

    Signed up and got me one of them passwords just so I could relay a message from my daughter. Forrest ....You have a day between Emeryville and San De Eggo on your book tour. Any chance of swinging by San Luis Obispo (Home of many a bad ass fighter) for a beer and book signing? Great pit stop and lots of fight fans to put money in your pocket in SLO Town!! Just looking out for ya big guy ....that and making my daughter happy.

    Hi Forrest,
    I am a huge fan, but Even more so is my Best friend Jamie! She really Loves you.
    I wanted to get her a signed copy of your new book, but you aren't doing any book signings in Canada? Why not?
    Anyways, Her Birthday is coming up and I would love to be able to surprise her with a signed copy of your book.
    If you are able to help me with this, it would be wonderful!
    Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you.

    Forrest, I am most definitely looking forward to your new book. I have a slight predicament that I hope that I can get some advice on. I am going for my bachelor’s in criminal justice and psych. However, the situation at home is extremely tense. My mother is severely ill with Reflexive Sympathetic Dystropy, as well as COPD and Type 2 Diabetes and is currently on around 30 medications a day. My brother is also severely autistic and has other severe mental health issues. My dad doesn't make enough money to pay for my mom's medication and keep up with the finances. We've tried to seek help from different organizations, and the best advice they've given us is my parents should divorce and then we could receive services.. I have been interested in mixed martial arts for several years, for both the competitive and the health aspects. However, with our financial troubles, I can't afford any lessons or the equipment to practice at home. My question that I pose to you is if you know any teachers who give free/reduced price lessons in the Philadelphia area. I am more than willing to work for the lessons, mop the floor, anything. I hope to hear from you or someone soon.

    Hi Forrest,

    I wanted to write you in regards to the release of your latest book. "Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down: A Survival Guide to the Apocalypse" I was fortunate enough to receive an advance copy of the book for a book review and I must say it is even funnier than the first one. Anyone who is man enough to even pass the test at the beginning of the book should definitely pick this up. I especially like #7 in the test. My wife keeps asking me why I went out and bought a difffernt color of fluffy toilet mat and replaced our white one... I think you know why. ;-)

    Be smart and go buy this book!

    Hey Foreest! I just got my account today, and I have a question about getting motivated before workouts. I have the P90X workout videos and I am having trouble getting motivated. What motivates you before a hard workout?

I'll be supporting you in all of for ventures where possible, honoring you as a good friend and always be sending you well wishing thoughts! At Amazon.com where I purchased your book I left a review for people for GOT FIGHT! I couldn't paste it here as too many characters. Yes Buddy keep all your doing up, never change from the man we now know, Ur da Man!!!!, and we'll be out here remaining loyal to you! Can't wait to read your next book, I just found out about it!!

    Mr. Griffin, Thank you for taking a moment out of your personal family time to stop and take a photo with me when you flew in to visit your parents over the recent holiday. I understand that being as famous as you are you don't have alot of private time, so I appreciate your kindness. As student council representative of my middle school I would like to invite you to consider speaking at one of our "Challenge Pep Rallies" the next time you come to see your parents. My principal is always looking for outstanding people to speak to us and challenge us to do our best, finish school, dream big, work hard and respect others. I know you would make an excellent speaker because I have studied all that you have accomplished and how hard you have worked. My fellow students look up to you and we would be honored to hear your challenge to us. I know that you have the ability to change the way we see the world and to make a positive difference in us. Thank you again for making time for me and for considering this request.

    Forrest -

    First off I have to say that you are a fantastic fighter who shows heart, determination, and most importantly, humor in the UFC. Becoming a high school senior, I have recently started doing "backyard" MMA with friends and others, with a background of mostly wrestling, and some basic teachings of Muay Thai, BJJ, Hopkido, and Kempo. I was wondering what I can do to really get into the sport of amateur and eventually, professional, MMA. And I'd like to know if you personally coach or know of any who coach.

    Thank you,
    Patrick
