Forrest Griffin : (5) " I’ve framed houses, worked on an asphalt crew, I was a cop, a lifeguard. " - Forrest Griffin " I have great coaches, but one thing I’ve never really had is that head coach – a Greg Jackson, Matt Hume, John Hackleman. " - Forrest Griffin " I’ve made a ton of money but I don’t have as much as I’d like. " - Forrest Griffin " For like a year, even after I retired, my ear would just bleed. There was just some scar tissue on it that tore open so many times that it just started bleeding all the time. It’s rough on the wife, she has to keep washing the sheets again and again. " - Forrest Griffin " In the grand scheme of things, fighting people in the cage is not that big of a deal, I know. It’s not a hero profession even though its treated as one. It’s not being a soldier or police officer or paramedic of firefighter or anything. " - Forrest Griffin
