PrintAll proceeds from Forrest's new book, 'Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down' will be going to charity:
Forrest Griffin - "There’s a couple of different ones: Fisher House, Three Square, a food bank in Las Vegas, our church, and then a couple more personal ones. The guy Big John [Grantham], in the book, he passed away, and he’s got a five-year-old son, and he’s got a trust set up, so some of it’s for that as well. I kept no money from the book. It didn’t go to charities like the "Forrest Griffin Needs a New Car Foundation.""HT: forrestgriffin.net

I really enjoyed his first book.
I am looking forward to this one. Great to hear that he is trying to make a difference.
I am a big fan.
is forrest a repulican?
i thought they only invited repulicans to be guests on their show? lol btw, cant stand fox news…..
Not really when it comes to entertainment
I never watch the channel, but channel-surfing past there promos, FOX & Friends seems like the other AM shows in that they will have just about anyone who has a book to sell.

He kinda deserved it, though

dude was Joe Rogan before the UFC had Joe Rogan
I throw raps that attack like the Japs on Pearl Harbor/MC's be out like bank robbers/Fleeing the scene, to be a sole survivor/DJ the getaway driver/Tried to dip but he dive, I socialize on vocal vibes/On tracks stabbed up with razor sharp knives
From what i've heard Forrest is actually a tool in person
Can anyone set the record straight and provide some examples for or against?
No. But he is an ex-cop, right? I dunno, he still seems like a stand up guy to me.

When I met Forrest he was kind and curtious, he was laughing and grateful for his fan base, he bs’d and what not and never came across as a prick. This was when he was training for his second fight with Ortiz.

He admits that he comes off as a dick sometimes, but I think he is mostly a good hearted guy. He is an oddball though.
I don’t know if you read his first book or not, but he really comes off as a nice guy… hes just a few fries short of a happy meal when it comes to his sanity.

I met him when he came to Alaska, chatted with him a bit and as well as in the Locker Room when I cornered my buddy for his fight at the TUF Finale. He couldn’t be any more relaxed and chill.
When I first met him in AK…I was like WTF!?!? I’m a LHW and this guy is HUGE comparred to me. That’s when he told me that after he fights, he sits around and eat junk and blammo…next thing he knows, he’s up to 240-245 before a training camp.
He even posed for a pic with my Fiance at the time.

As much of a joke as Fox & Friends is, especially that blonde chick
Gotta appreciate the love they give MMA. I’m betting it’s all Kilmeade pushing them to do it

Don't you hate that?
When people you can’t stand on your side?
Mind bending.
"I trained with Steven Seagal."
From what i understand
from what I understand after watching his interviews and reading his first book, he really hates to be interrupted or interviewed when he is training or preparing for a fight and he is in “fight mode” but if he isn’t in the gym or doing anything training-related he is a nice guy.
Exactly.
He doesn’t like to be interrupted while at work. That rubs people the wrong way, apparently.
The UFC must be paying him well

Read his first book
And he came off as a nice enough guy, but with some real screws loose, and a bit of an odd sense of humor. He didn’t seem punchy to me, and was able to throw some little jokes and such in. If you accept that he’s slightly insane, and go from there, you can tell he’s ok.
I consider myself a softcore fan.
I didn’t know Big John passed away. He was hilarious in that book. Anyone know what happened there?
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
He passed away very recently.

Here’s another good one about John: http://news.fightmagazine.com/adam-singer-hardcore-gym-john-grantham-mma-5862/
that is some sad shit.
