UFC ON FUEL TV TUNE-IN ALERT
“Forrest Griffin: The Ultimate Fighter” Documentary Airs Wednesday, September 5 at 11:00 PM ET
LOS ANGELES, CA – FUEL TV airs the documentary “Forrest Griffin: The Ultimate Fighter,” Wednesday, September 5 (11:00 PM ET.) This is the true story of an original UFC icon who found
fame as a professional
athlete, when he was just looking for a fight. This revealing 90-minute
show chronicles how a former Georgia police officer, who started
training mixed martial arts as a hobby and competitive outlet, became
one of the most beloved stars the sport has ever
known.
An
invitation to join the cast of a reality show, considered a last gasp
effort to save the floundering UFC, would change the course of Forrest’s
life, and the fortunes of an entire sport. A thrilling victory in the
final fight of the tournament won Forrest the distinction of being the
original Ultimate Fighter, and earned him a place in the sport’s
folklore for a performance widely credited with launching
the explosive success of the modern UFC.
He
went on to capture the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship in a rousing
upset of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson to reach the heights of a profession
that he stumbled into, and would end up largely defining with his
passionate fighting style. Through Forrest’s compelling narration, along
with in-depth interviews with the people who know him best, and
archival footage from his remarkable journey, this profile
is the definitive account of an improbable career path that winds
through the center of some of the most pivotal events in the history of
the UFC.
