Forrest Griffin
Forrest Griffin is the former Georgia police officer whose 2005 brawl with Stephan Bonnar in the first Ultimate Fighter finale is credited with saving the UFC. He won that tournament, then submitted Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in 2007 and outpointed Quinton Jackson at UFC 86 in 2008 to win the light heavyweight title.
He lost it to Rashad Evans, was knocked out by Anderson Silva in one of the most famous mismatches in UFC history, and completed a trilogy with Tito Ortiz before retiring in 2013, the year both he and the Bonnar fight entered the UFC Hall of Fame. He now runs athlete development at the UFC Performance Institute. CagePotato covered all of it.
