I like that he owned up to never being the best coach.
Bro, still got huge chills and was so pumped for Forrest. Felt like we all won, for real. Big Respect Brother. Motivated me so much then and now.
This guy is such a humble dude. Hes what every man should aspire to be.

I completely forgot that Forrest Griffin lost his mind over a Matt “the immortal” Brown fight, which, of course Matt won 😂 Forrest, I can’t tell you what a hero you were to so many of us, and still are!
What a legend, respect for this fughter 👏
This guy is seriously one of my mma heroes, an average man, by his own admisson an average fighter, never afraid to acknowledge when he got his but kicked, was always humble....i mean this guy is so down to earth on TUF 1 he admitted that if he was ever caught in a submission he d tP his little heart out.....

but remember its the same fighter who got caught in a submission broke his arm, he didnt tap and knocked his opponent out with his right hand. it was before he got into TUF 1, the man is a beast and the only reason why he said he would tap was because he wouldnt be able to fight in TUF if he didnt tap
Bros will always be a legend. Rip Stephen Bonner
Man you just gotta love Forrest, such a legend in the sport. Solid goose bumps watching this. His fight for the first TUF finals was what got me into this sport. LEGEND
The best Year of the Fighter yet!
Forrest was always one of my favorite fighters. He makes everyone laugh. What a great series of videos.
One of the best series the UFC has put out. Helps showing the people that don't know who are the guys who helped make the UFC what it is today, and showing the guys that watched these fights live a little walk down memory lane. Giving respect is what it's always about. I remember having to rent the first probably 10 ufc fights at Blockbuster on VHS.Time flies
I’ve only ever bought something UFC related once and it was a Forest shirt. He’s the reason I started watching the UFC. Love that guy!
Watched him win the title live. We were all soo pumped that he did it.
hes one of my favorite fighters from the ultimate fighter 1, knowing what he became i almost want to rewatch the first season before continuing to see him grow again, he had the goofiest yet badass haircuts andcrazy fun style. love this dude
These videos are excellent. Thanks for letting me relive some great memories.
Forrest is one cool guy. Very humble. One of the best to ever do it for sure. The best part is how he dunked the ball at the end. That's a statement
I'll never forget being there with Forrest, Adam, Rory, Chad, John, and Forrest's dad. The celebration that night was one of the most memorable nights of my life. Thanks Forrest.
Got to love how real Forrest is. Always himself, super authentic and honest. I still remember that interview he did talking about his fight with Silva. His self deprecating humour was legendary😅. A real fighters fighter. Top man.
Best UFC era imo! Love Forrest and everything he brought to the UFC. The original ultimate fighter! And I love how he makes fun himself the whole time during the fights 😂 Wish Stephan was around to see all this
Why I started watching UFC regularly. Thank you Forrest!
There is no UFC without Forrest.

This is such a good series
It's not possible to have a greater episode than this one.
I hope we get a year of the fighter vid for Chuck Liddell
Forrest❤
this was the year i started watching UFC never looked back
These year of the fighter episodes are done really well
Watching him fight Bonnar as a kid was what got me into mma. Respect to the legend
Mike Goldberg was ace. Ufc don't sound the same without his energy
Love this guy.
I bought and mounted that “recreated” shirt in my little lean to during my 3rd deployment when I was in Baghdad. I loved it as much as i love Forrest
I miss that era man...
These are all incredible. Thank you @ufc
Love this series keep them coming Respect to all the og's that made this Sport great 👏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Respect the time and effort you put into these videos! 👍
Keep them coming! Year of the fighter is awesome!
He’s the reason I started watching the ufc back in the day . Love the guy ! Also love Kenny Florian he was a great jiu jitsu fighter !! Both have a lot of heart .
Reason why I started watching the sport. What a legend
After forrest griffins impersonation of chuck liddell on season 1 of Ultimate Fighter instantly made him my FAVORITE FIGHTER.
Love him picking apart his own fights. What a Legend!
Legend, thx Forrest. 🤙
13 seconds in Coach - "its your time baby" Forest Griffin - "time"
Hearing Randy saying good thing's about you is pretty awesome
watched this 2 times.... love forrest, love MMA
What a cool guy.
Ive loved watching him since tuf one! His personality is awesome! He dont care about all thr trash talking, he will make jokes and just loves to freakin brawl!
Badass
I was always interested in mma and fighting but The man that won tuf that very last fight turned my interest into being hooked on UFC till this very day! Thank you Forests my first favorite fighter!
Forest is a gem, national treasure in the MMA world.
Humbleness is what makes Forrest a Legend
One of the pioneers right there.
I’m loving these uploads.
Who didn't love these days being a fan of the ufc!! Forrest such a cool dude..
Forrest will always be my favorite fighter
Forrest you are not average! You are the reason I started watching UFC❤❤❤
I enjoyed this episode more than any other because of his candid assessment of his own fight but his ability to remain humble when presented with his own greatness.
Forrest is one of the coolest dudes to ever fight
Legend has ot if you look up the word humble, next to it is a photo of Forrest Griffin
Forrest is a legend so good at evolving mid fight and good on his feet good use of his long body
Loving these 1 to 1 vids
This is the content we need Ufc, more of these!
I love these series
One of the humblest top guys in the UFC. He was a champ and one of the best of his time, and this guy was and is never scared of poking fun at himself, never taking everything too seriously. Forrest vs Bonnar, the fight that cemented my fandom in MMA.
Forrest giving Stitch props...I remember his era, it was awesome!
Griffin rarely gets his due.. one of the toughest guys of his era
How can you not love Forrest?
*I met Forrest in Atlanta after UFC 88 while waiting in the parking deck next to Philips Arena to report that my friend's Jeep had been stolen. He was cool enough to stop and take a picture with my buddy and I. We never would've met had my friend's Jeep not been stolen. Life is weird.*
These Year of the fighter are fucking amazing. Really enjoying them. 👌
Do year of the fighter with chael sonnen
Tim Sylvia was a staff member at the group home i was at in 1996. He told us stories about the bar he bounced at in Bangor.
man,what a stud
Respect
Forrest had a great career in the UFC
These are awesome.
Herb Dean’s face when Forest gets announced as the ultimate fighter 😂❤
❤ from 🇧🇩
I started watching like a month after the UFC, my friend told me about because I currently had ran 1 mile to and from Kung Fu with Japanese Ju Jitsu, I love it and it seemed to keep me from street fighting. Anywho, Forrest and DEFINITLY = The Iceman got me watching the events and the couple I'd missed I went Blockbuster and Century Marial Arts to rent and buy UFC DVDs, Damn, I'm getting old but I still practice MMA. Thank you UFC for changing my life forever!
This fight changed history
Forest was my favorite guy to use in the first UFC game, but Rampage was why I started watching UFC.
Such a good episode and to see Michael Duncan 13:32 RIP legend.

Love these
Ufc should do one of these about stitch he was a hallmark of early ufc
How can you not love Forrest 😅
Best of the fighting
One of the realest to ever do it. Hespect.
He's a really nice guy
I love how forrest threw a tantrum and destroyed the door even though his fighter won the close decision. He was so fired up when rampage challenged him
Griffen was the first fighter i ever paid attention to when he fought, idk what it was, he always had my attention when he fought
I was lucky enough to be in attendance for Forest’s pro mma debut against Dan “The Beast” Severn in Augusta, GA. Hometown guy made good.
Watching Griffin talk shit about himself was hilarious. Just shows what a great sport he is and he truly is a legend
Sometimes, if they stay true to their vision and to themselves nice guys win. We needed to see that Mr. Griffin, we still do. Thank you.
I really, really miss forest Griffith being an active fighter. He is such a genuine, humble and entertaining guy.
Im the type of UFC fan that needs a Joe Lauzon year of the fighter episode
Forrest is the original Ultimate Fighter.
Rest easy Bonnar. Forest an Stephan launched the UFC to where it is now.
Love Forrest. His self effacing attitude and the fandom and wonder of his success make him very easy to gravitate to.
