Publisher Description
A New York Times Bestseller, Got Fight? is an hysterical, entertaining, and in-your-face guide to fighting from the most enigmatic and unpredictable fighter in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Forrest Griffin is the light-heavyweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and was the winner of the first season of Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter; in Got Fight?, he shows you how he did it. With Erich Krauss, Muay Thai fighter and co-author of “The Prodigy” B.J. Penn’s Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge.
Forget Zen masters and flowery prose. This is Forrest Griffin’s brutally honest guide to:
Fighting Humor: Learn why shitting yourself at Dollywood builds character, pass the infamous ‘Manliness Test,’ and get Forrest’s take on everything from cauliflower ear to fighting drunk.Fight Training: Discover a training philosophy built on grit, not gimmicks, and find out why toughness can beat technique when you’re too stupid to back down.Weight Cutting Advice: Get a no-BS approach to making weight that involves Pedialyte, sweet potatoes, and the very real risk of shitting yourself in the ring.Supersecret Techniques: Master the unstoppable ‘Asian Dart’ and other supersecret (and highly questionable) techniques that probably won’t work but are guaranteed to make you laugh.
Customer Reviews
Good read, Great Laughs, Helpful Tips
A delightfully crude book based on longtime fan-favourite Forrest Griffin’s journey to becoming an eventual light-heavyweight champion in the UFC, plus a number of hilarious stories and life lessons that are learnt along the way. Also, a very entertaining portion of the book includes visual tips on things like basic fighting knowledge and self defence techniques. Worth the read for anyone wanting a hilarious and brutally honest look inside the journey that fighters go through on their way way to the UFC, along with a few odd yet valuable life tips from Forrest himself
Very amusing read
I really liked this book. Forrest does a great job explaining the in's and out's of fighting while keeping anyone amused with his different type of humor. Two words, "Asian Dart." You have to read it to find out.
