UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on Spike TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.
Apparently, Griffin is thinking about writing a new book about what to do when the apocalypse hits. I'm all for it but I honestly had a hard time reading his book basically about being a "man" after he ran out of the Octagon like he did. It sounds like it will be even crazier (if he actually does it) b/c he wants total control..... scary

"Well, the way it came about, I thought I was finishing the first book. I wrote an end to the book, but I found out when they give you a deadline, apparently they mean it. I didn't realize. So I called them up two weeks after the deadline and said, "I finished the book," and they said they didn't want it. So I had half a book and didn't know what to do with it. So now it's its own thing. This time around, I really want to control the title. I'm thinking, 'When S**t Goes Down You Better Be Ready: A Guide to the Apocalypse by Forrest Griffin.' I've always been a big fan of the apocalypse. I was sort of inspired by a book I read recently. It's called 'The Road,' by Cormac McCarthy. He's the guy who wrote the book 'No Country for Old Men.' It's pretty cool, you should check it out." - Forrest Griffin
After the success of Forrest Griffin's first book, "Got Fight?: The 50 Zen Principles of Hand-to-Face Combat," he can already see a second one in the making. So, fans, look out, there might be another one coming out in the future.
Griffin published his book in June 2009, two months before he fought Anderson Silva at UFC 101. In their light-heavyweight bout, Griffin was defeated by KO. Griffin fought again in 2009, at UFC 106 last month in a rematch with Tito Ortiz. Griffin came out the victor by split decision.
A long-time fan favorite, the former police officer is known for being comedic, sarcastic and self-deprecating. Before capturing the UFC light-heavyweight belt in July 2008, Griffin was the winner of SPIKE TV's first season of "The Ultimate Fighter."
Here are some quotes about Griffin's "Got Fight?":
Chuck Liddell: "I have to admit, 'Got Fight?' is a hilarious read that will undoubtedly make you more of a man (or at least Forrest thinks so)!"
Randy Couture: "Besides establishing himself as one of the top MMA fighters in the world, Forrest Griffin is one of the most unique personalities in our sport."
Joe Rogan: "Forrest is one of the funniest, most intelligent fighters I've ever had the privilege of talking to. His brutal honesty and self-deprecating sense of humor alone have made him one of the most loved fighters in the game."

You sound super tough. You should write a book about it, but a serious manual type thing, not that ***** humor shit Griffin came out with.

First book was tounge-in-cheek. It was also ******* hilarious. His sense of humor reminds me a lot of Tucker Max.

I didn't read his 'Got Fight?' book, I wouldn't mind though - but I think I'd definitely get a copy of this one if he decides to write it, sounds like it'd be hilarious =)
