UFC QUOTABLES: Forrest Griffin on his New York Times bestselling book, "Got Fight"

UFC QUOTABLES: Forrest Griffin on his New York Times bestselling book, "Got Fight"

By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
"I would like to make some wild claims about the book...I guarantee – a money back guarantee – that this book will not help your fighting, will in no way better your life or improve your life in any way. Not only that, but I also guarantee that this book will not help your love life in any regard."

-Forrest Griffin, self depricating as always, on his new book, "Got Fight – The 50 Zen Principles of Hand-to-Face Combat," which has made it to the top ten on the New York Times Bestsellers List, currently sitting at #8.

Penick's Analysis: It's this style of deadpan humor from Griffin that endears him to so many fans. I have not had a chance to pick up the book just yet, but it's at the top of my list as from all accounts it's an extremely funny compilation of stories from the former Light Heavyweight Champion. His humor and likeability are what have put this at #8 on the NYT bestsellers list and that's a really cool thing for him and for the sport to have one of the big names in the sport gaining an audience in another venue. It's a further push for acceptance in the mainstream at the least.
