If you enjoyed [b:Real Men Don't Apologize|835103|Real Men Don't Apologize|Jim Belushi|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178766290s/835103.jpg|820717], you'll love this one. Forget the King's English, these guys pull out all the stops for a slangy, dirty look inside Griffin's life and fight philosophy. In the second half, he does present some moves and techniques, a humorous 101 to MMA style fighting, but that isn't why you should get this book. If you are looking for deep and profound thoughts, again, don't bother. (I don't think jocks have profound thoughts.)

What you will get is a lot of stupidity, a lot of juvenile machismo, a self-deprecating/self-loathing sense of humour, totally non-PC sexism, a ton of bullsh*t advice, and tantalizing glimpses of a man who "ain't right".

If you are a women who isn't bothered by sexist language and knows a little bit about MMA, I definitely recommend this book to you--his antics will put you in hysterics every other page. For the guys, I suggest you take Griffin's advice and grow a pair before you undertake his book--whoever said "don't insult your reader" clearly wasn't talking to this guy.

This book isn't for everyone. Griffin is a fighter and this book is about fighting. Pain and violence are what he does for a living. If you find mild psychosis and general bloodiness disturbing or triggering, this isn't the book you want.

I give it five stars because this was the most enjoyable, engaging book I have read in a while. ( )

A mix of MMA and comedy. Funny and informative book. ( )

I found the book pretty interesting. I am a huge MMA fan. Forrest Griffin is a n extremely funny author, and I think anyone, regardless of MMA knowledge, would love this book. Honestly, this book is probably most beneficial to anyone who knows little about mixed martial arts, and wants to understand what is going on a bit more. ( )

I've recently gotten into MMA, via obnoxious boyfriend, and was forced to read Got Fight? by Forrest Griffin. I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that Griffin was not only hilarious (one of the funniest books I've ever read) but was also very informative when it came to all things fighting. The tips at the end of the book have helped me understand what I'm seeing, what kind of submissions are being used, when watching the fights. And I can now perform a perfect Asian Dart! I highly recommend this book for anyone getting into MMA, be it guy or unfortunate girlfriend. ( )
