I mean, I don’t really want to but I’m sure you have to, so let’s just do it. Why would you do that? So what else? Let’s talk about fighting. Heavy: A man can’t even go get a cup of coffee after an arduous hepatitis test situation without getting accosted. When did women start with the “HEY!” I thought I was walking passed a construction site. Heavy: Oh – making fun of you cat-calling you, not even like…

Why are high school girls and teenage girls making fun of me and cat-calling me? I guess I was going to Starbucks the same time the school here let out, and I got cat-called by a bunch of teenage girls. Alright, well, I actually just had a very uncomfortable experience. Griffin: Well there is some exciting news for me, are we recording this, because this is the good shit? Heavy: In the year-and-a-half I’ve been married, I’ve become very skilled at the “my wife and I” any time there are single women around.

Then you can just drop my hepatitis things too. What I always do is the “you know my wife” thing, just to make sure it doesn’t get awkward. Griffin: Just drop it casually, like, whenever you’re talking to women.

I think my wife might want me to share that plan from now on too. Griffin: Actually, you just go ahead and tell all the single women that I do have hepatitis so they stay away. Heavy: So that everybody is aware and everybody knows, Forrest Griffin does not have hepatitis. Heavy: I’ll be sure to include that fact in the interview. (Note: prior to turning on the tape recorder, Griffin explained that he was late because he needed to return to the doctor’s office to have his hepatitis test redone and the test came back negative.) Sit back and enjoy Heavy MMA’s one-on-one with “The Original Ultimate Fighter,” Forrest Griffin. After tackling the more important issues of the day, we got around to discussing his upcoming fight with Rich Franklin too. The charismatic former light heavyweight champion was an hour late for our interview, and when we finally connected, the topics of conversation instead ranged from the results of his recent hep test, getting accosted by adolescent girls and how to work the fact that you’re married into every conversation. A sit-down with the charismatic Forrest Griffinįorrest Griffin may or may not have hepatitis, depending on who wants to know.

Got fight by forrest griffin
