Forrest on His Cover Boy Status and UFC 101
When the Las Vegas Sun asked Forrest Griffin about his thoughts of being featured on the cover of the upcoming "UFC 2009 Undisputed" video game, the former light heavyweight champion said, "I don't play video games...my little brother thinks it's cool, so that's important." He expounded a little more in an interview last month when IGN.com showed him a copy of the game from publisher THQ: "That's awesome, it actually looks like me if I were in a video game...it looks like me, but meaner and with a little bit of chest, so I'm stoked...I can die happy now."
Griffin said he thought gamers would enjoy the action inside the virtual Octagon. "You can do most of the moves we do, it's pretty impressive. I think it would take a while to gain some sort of mastery over it."
Outside of the video game, Griffin has returned to his training regiment 100 percent since recovering from surgery on the hand he injured in his fight against Rashad Evans. "Got me a little plate and some screws...just one more piece of metal in my collection."
He also confirmed that his next bout will be against Thiago Silva at UFC 101 on August 8 in Philadelphia. "He's tough and I think it's gonna be a good fight," Griffin said.
