Synopsis
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.

Forrest Griffin is one of the top-ranked light-heavyweight mixed martial artists in the world. He won the first season of The Ultimate Fighter in 2005 and has been one of the most beloved UFC fighters ever since. He's a political science graduate from the University of Georgia and a former police officer, and can grow an awfully full set of muttonchops. But down, ladies; Forrest and his main squeeze, Jaime, live in Las Vegas.

February 09, 2010: I'm not much of a reader you could say. However, when I recieved Got Fight? by Forrest Griffin for Christmas I could not stop reading. This book made me laugh so hard I could not read it in public becasue of the stares I got from strangers. What these people didn't realize was that I was reading the work of a true genius. Yes, I did just call Forrest Griffin a genius. Got Fight? is the perfect book for any man because it is so accurate to how we think. Forrest shares so many insights not only to fighting but to life. His stories shed light onto aspects that are important, not to mention hilarious. Forrest tells how it is to be a true fighter and man. His stories of training and how training is done right is very helpful to me and gave me some pointers to take on my MMA career. He shared how he trains, hygene guidlines that should be taken into consideration while training, and some of the roads that have led him to his successful UFC career. Forrest is the perfect role model to look up to and is my role model. He also is my favorite UFC fighter becasue he is just a normal dude. I would strongly recomend this book to any guy looking for a good laugh and some thoughtful stories.

January 09, 2010: In this "biography" by Forrest Griffin and Erick Krauss, Griffin takes the reader on a hysterical trip through his mind and mma journey. This book is full of adult "guy" oriented humor starting with the "manliness" test at the beginning all the way to the "asian dart" technique showcased near the end. It is a quick, funny read and would make an excellent gift for any MMA fan or 17-35 year old male. I especially look forward to using the dog defense technique!
