Forrest Griffin

Nickname -- Birthdate 7/1/1979
Height / Weight 6'3" - 205 Place of Birth Columbus, Ohio, United States

After winning the first season of "The Ultimate Fighter" by way of a now-legendary battle with Stephan Bonnar, Forrest Griffin exceeded all expectations when he submitted Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in 2007, then went on to beat Quinton Jackson to win the light-heavyweight title in 2008. Although he would lose the title in his first defense against Rashad Evans, Griffin remains a fan favorite.
