Product Description

Wondering why you should purchase this book when there are other titles on the shelves written by much higher-caliber fighters? Well, Forrest Griffin is not as good-looking as those guys. He's not as smart as them. He's also not as athletically endowed. And let's face it, neither are you. Those other fighters are pretty much better than you in every way. But you can actually aspire to be as good as Forrest one day. Why? Because he is nothing special, just like you.

Forrest is not a martial artist. He's a fighter, and this book was written for his kin. If you're a hillbilly like Forrest and you get off on having your face rearranged, Got Fight? is for you. This is a manifesto more strategic than Sun Tzu's The Art of War, more philosophical than Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do, more powerful than a well-lubricated locomotive.

In these pages you will learn about true mental toughness—whether it's scraping it out in the Octagon or picking up chicks. You will learn about the mental defects that made Forrest Griffin into the abomination he is today and how you can use your shortcomings to become equally horrible. You will learn the essential tactics of hand-to-hand combat as well as how to defend yourself in the event of a sword attack. Never been attacked by a sword? You need this book worse that we thought.

Still not convinced? Don't worry. Even if you find that the book sucks, it will be no worse than having sex with Forrest Griffin. You'll feel a small prick and some minor discomfort, and then it will all be over.

5 out of 5 stars Best MMA book read so far   August 3, 2010
Brian Lohr (Bellingham, WA USA)
This is by far the most hilarious "biography" (it's more a series of ramblings) that I've ever read. I haven't read a book "for fun" in over a year (I've read numerous text books) and forgot how great it could be. Get this book, you will not regret it.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely hilarious.   July 14, 2010

More of a "laugh your ass off" book than a book about MMA. Check it out for a fun read.


5 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Fighters/Warriors!!! If your ready to learn/absorb what Forrest is trying to pass on you'll grow from it!!   July 11, 2010
Brad Pryer (NSW, Australia)
This is a great great book! You won't be able to put it down!!! A True Warrior heart talking on and teaching how to become a True Warrior both in life and in the ring! Not only that but funny as all hell! Forrest is a real character! This book also comes loaded with great excerpt commentaries from other fighters and characters! Man it's been a while since I've read a book, an entertaining book and an instructional/teaching book like this! The fight skills teaching and knowledge's are very informative and educational as well! Forrest I don't give a hoot if you can or can't pound me because if you don't write part 2 and 3 very soon I'm going to have to become a dog and come gnawing and biting at your ankles until you do! Many need to learn how to develop that True Warriors heart mate!! Keep being a legend!!!


5 out of 5 stars Most Hilarious Book I've ever Read In My Life!   June 3, 2010

This book is absolutely hilarious! Don't think that because its written by a UFC fighter that it is a book about fighting. It's not, its about very weird ideas and stories of Forrest Griffin that will make you laugh out loud that you'll fall off your seat. I am not exaggerating. I remember when I was reading this book in public by myself I used to laugh and giggle that people around me thought I am a freak :) I didn't care really because if they knew how funny and vulgar the jokes were they would have understood!

Whether you're into MMA or not, you won't go wrong reading this book. There's not much to learn really, except some of the good Jiu Jitsu techniques given at the end, however the jokes you will get and the fun you will experience from reading this book is totally worth buying it.

I highly recommend it!
