Ballet of Violence

Forrest Griffin ↘↖

Every fight I go into, no matter what happens, it could not be worse than Anderson Silva.

[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.” Then he punched me. I felt embarrassed for even trying to punch him. I felt like some kid trying to wrestle his dad.

Your cat’s sick, you can’t pay your rent, and for 15 or 25 minutes, however long, you’re free of that. It’s real hard for that to enter your mind when somebody’s choking your face off. You’re in that moment of getting your face choked. You ain’t thinking about the bills, your mortgage or your boss. It’s freedom from that. Well, now, the problem is that I’ve got a good life. I don’t want freedom from my good life. I love my life. I’ve got an awesome wife, my cat’s cool, he’s pretty healthy, and life’s pretty good.

Now I don’t need a reprieve from life.

(via fighting) He has this look on his face like “Really?  Um…you missed.  You were supposed to bring it.” Not a slight on Griffin so much as awe for Silva.

You’ve got to understand, I generally don’t like myself. So it really confuses me when other people seem to genuinely like me.

I thought this was a fighting sport…it just gets old, people putting hopes and dreams on you, telling you they put money on you, ‘You’re my kid’s idol.’ I don’t want to hear that shit. Get Tom Brady on your kid’s wall.
