Tito has never let us down !! Till now , he won’t start 🙏🏼
Evans , lyoto
Rich franklin
Stephen
Don’t forget vitor!
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.
the amount of humility this dude has always impressed me and it's awesome that he ended up being the first ever TUF winner, what a legend
I like that he owned up to never being the best coach.
This man is LITERALLY the reason I got into this sport. So glad they gave him his flowers 💪🏽
This guy is such a humble dude. Hes what every man should aspire to be.
exactly
Forrest is a great dude.
Man, I've been watching these non stop since like Friday lol. These and Fight Pass Chronicles. UFC keepin us busy this holiday season. Love it. Just one reason UFC outshines every other promotion.
Ikr
minus one

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.....
What a legend, respect for this fughter 👏
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
Bros will always be a legend. Rip Stephen Bonner
These videos are excellent. Thanks for letting me relive some great memories.
Forrest was always one of my favorite fighters. He makes everyone laugh. What a great series of videos.
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!
The best Year of the Fighter yet!
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.
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
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.
There is no UFC without Forrest.
pretty disrepectful to not add Bonnar it took both of them.
@@Shawner1000 not taking anything away from Stephen.. this is a video about Forrest and that fight wasn’t even included. But you are correct there is no ufc without Forrest or Bonnar. May his soul rest in heavenly peace and glory
@@Shawner1000 RIP Bonnar
Why I started watching UFC regularly. Thank you Forrest!
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
This is such a good series
Forrest❤
It's not possible to have a greater episode than this one.
These are all incredible. Thank you @ufc
I hope we get a year of the fighter vid for Chuck Liddell
Love this series keep them coming Respect to all the og's that made this Sport great 👏🏻❤️🙏🏻
this was the year i started watching UFC never looked back
Respect the time and effort you put into these videos! 👍
watched this 2 times.... love forrest, love MMA
Keep them coming! Year of the fighter is awesome!
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.
I’m loving these uploads.
I miss that era man...
Watching him fight Bonnar as a kid was what got me into mma. Respect to the legend
Loving these 1 to 1 vids
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!
Reason why I started watching the sport. What a legend
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 .
After forrest griffins impersonation of chuck liddell on season 1 of Ultimate Fighter instantly made him my FAVORITE FIGHTER.
13 seconds in Coach - "its your time baby" Forest Griffin - "time"
Forrest you are not average! You are the reason I started watching UFC❤❤❤
This is the content we need Ufc, more of these!
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
What a cool guy.
Love him picking apart his own fights. What a Legend!
Legend, thx Forrest. 🤙
These year of the fighter episodes are done really well
Badass
Forest is a gem, national treasure in the MMA world.
Humbleness is what makes Forrest a Legend
I love these series
Forrest is a legend so good at evolving mid fight and good on his feet good use of his long body
Who didn't love these days being a fan of the ufc!! Forrest such a cool dude..
Hearing Randy saying good thing's about you is pretty awesome
Love these
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!
These are awesome.
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.
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!
Forrest giving Stitch props...I remember his era, it was awesome!
Best of the fighting
❤ from 🇧🇩
Mike Goldberg was ace. Ufc don't sound the same without his energy
Legend has ot if you look up the word humble, next to it is a photo of Forrest Griffin
Such a good episode and to see Michael Duncan 13:32 RIP legend.
He definitely had the best UFC voice over for clips and promotion trailers
Respect
Forrest had a great career in the UFC
Griffin rarely gets his due.. one of the toughest guys of his era
How can you not love Forrest?
I love these videos man. Straight up goosebumps. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤this man is a legend and pioneer.🤘🏻
Forrest will always be my favorite fighter
*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. 👌
One of the pioneers right there.
One of the realest to ever do it. Hespect.
One of my all-time favourite fighters, he was like the Dominick Cruz of the light heavyweight division had beautiful footwork and devastatingly kicks ! He always Never gave himself credit for the things he accomplished
Forest was my favorite guy to use in the first UFC game, but Rampage was why I started watching UFC.
Herb Dean’s face when Forest gets announced as the ultimate fighter 😂❤
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.
Respect++
No matter how much of a monster rampage is, he's such a great guy! I truly miss the old school guys personality. I love how much personality they have. These guys are the truth in combat sports! ESPECIALLY RAMPAGE "LIFE OF THE PARTY" JACKSON!
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.
Watching Griffin talk shit about himself was hilarious. Just shows what a great sport he is and he truly is a legend
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.
When Forest became champion it was like a relief for fans. Kind of reminds me of Leon Edwards the way it made me feel when he won the title, its like you didnt expect to see it but you wanted him to be the champ, and gd you loved to see it when he won the title. Especially since UFC was a new thing for me and a lot of fans and we watched Forest on TUF and that epic fight with bonner and so on. The Forest era will always be remembered by me. I was a really young new fan but I remember watching all of forests fights.
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
man,what a stud
I Like These Episodes,more please 😁👌🏾
Love Forrest. His self effacing attitude and the fandom and wonder of his success make him very easy to gravitate to.
Do year of the fighter with chael sonnen
How can you not love Forrest 😅
I really, really miss forest Griffith being an active fighter. He is such a genuine, humble and entertaining guy.
Hearing how this man beat rampage Jackson is what got me into MMA to begin with. Always chose Forrest in Undisputed
These might be the best content The UFC ha as ever come out with. Abs this one abs the DC ive are by far the best I've seen so far! Forest really is just such a way gt to like and laugh at/with (I mean that in a good way).
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
He's a really nice guy
