A recent interview with Forrest Griffin, who is out on the road promoting his new book, was a guest on the “Jason Ellis Show on Sirius XM – Faction” on Aug. 10 was asked about a rumor that he’d be facing fast rising UFC light-heavyweight Jon “Bones” Jones.
Griffin gave a less than enthusiastic reply to the question. Here’s part of the transcript for the interview from BloodyElbow.com.
“I hope I am not fighting Jon ‘Bones’ Jones. I might be. F*ck it; if I am, I am. I will do it, but I am not even training right now. That is a bad dude. That dude will whoop my ass. F*ck it. What is the worst, I mean, it could not be worse than Anderson Silva. It should not be worse than that, right? Every fight I go into, no matter what happens, it could not be worse than Anderson Silva.”
“Because that sh*t was a year ago and literally every day people ask me something about that – What happened? What happened?”
“[Anderson punched me in the chin] Repeatedly and I was very confused. I tried to punch him and he literally moved his head out of the way and looked at me like I was stupid for doing it. He looked at me like – “Why would you do such a stupid thing?” He looked at me like – “Oh, did you really think you were going to hit me? What a stupid thing to think, you slow slow white boy.”
