GRIFFIN MAKES GREAT TV

. No comments.

The self depreciating sense of humor of former Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin has become the stuff of legends and thankfully for the fans of Mixed Martial Arts and MMA, it will be on display on FUEL TV in a conversation segment with Griffin and his long time friend Stephen Bonnar as the guests as they talk about everything related to the MMA and the UFC. Bonnar and Griffin are remembered by many people for their scrap during the first season of The Ultimate Fighter, most of all for the finale which Griffin won by a split decision.

The two are also known for their extremely dry sense of humor and their conversation is slated to vary from the actor Mark Hamill to Star Wars to the Star Wars movies as well as to their now legendary first season of The Ultimate Fighter. According to the reports, the episode that was filmed a few days back features Forrest Griffin stating that he and Bonnar want a handicap match for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and if they manage to beat Jon Jones, they would split the Championship belt into two and be known as the UFC Light Heavyweight Joint Champions.

According to the reports, Griffin adds that the two of them give Jones quite a beating, almost nine out of 10 times and it is only just that they get a match with him. When asked about the first season of The Ultimate Fighter, Forrest Griffin in his usual manner states that he is Mark Hamill and The Ultimate Fighter was his Star Wars.

To know more about what exactly went down on the show, FUEL TV is the place to be at primetime and there is a lot of fun guaranteed by the two.

Tito Ortiz against Forrest Griffin is a dream bout for any fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC and the way things are going, the two are set to meet for a third and final time, before Ortiz and the UFC’s contract gets over. After his loss to Antonio Nogueira, it was believed that the career of Tito Ortiz was over but he claimed that there was still one match left in his contract and according to sources close to Dana White; the President of the UFC, his swansong might as well come against the deadly and hard hitting Griffin.

Although both Ortiz as well as Griffin lost in their last bouts at UFC 140, White believes that these two can draw a huge crowd if they face off once again and he believes that this is one match in the UFC where the current form stands for nothing and it’s the name that counts. However, critics are skeptical about how Ortiz would square off against Forrest Griffin, who has been a thorn in the career or Ortiz. Although Griffin has lost much of the edge that helped him secure the title of The Ultimate Fighter in its first season as well as the Light Heavyweight Championship, he is still very much a force to be reckoned with.

At 36 years old, Ortiz does not have the same physical or mental edge that Griffin currently possesses and since their last bout in 2009 at UFC 106, his form has dropped dramatically. Although Griffin has also not had the best of runs since then, but he is still considered miles ahead in the game than Ortiz and most of the promoters believe that Forrest Griffin would simply decimate Ortiz if they were faced with each other one last time.
