Stop bitchin! This is probably the best entrance music ever. Maybe after Cro Cop to Wild Boys, although he is probably the only one who could pull that song off
That's retarded, a black or Asian person born in America are considered African or Asian American, yet an Irish person born in America is considered only American?
I've seen you Irish guys give us Irish Americans crap over claiming your flag before, I don't get it. I'm American but I'm VERY VERY proud of my Irish/Celtic heritage. . Irish Americans, and the Irish for that matter can take pride in knowing that without them America wouldn't be the Country it is today. I don't understand why you guys don't root for us like we do for you. We're proud of you guys and our ties to you.

Americans take pride in their Irish roots, moreso than a lot of Irish people. I was born in Ireland, Forest Griffin is a legend, and if he wants to say hes IRISH, WHY THE FUCK NOT?
i never seen it live but i guess its better at home,it seems that most of the audience is too far away from the action,i realy like to see the fights close
The song is Shipping up to Boston by the dropkick murphys. The first time I ever heard this was in the movie, The Departed which, if you have not seen you should watch it. Awesome movie.
Forrest Griffen really isnt my FAVORITE fighter...i mean, he is pretty entertaining to watch..and has revolutionized the sport with his unanamious decision over Stephan Bonner. He can take so much pain, and doesnt stop, and trains harder than anybody in the game. He is a true warrior. Irish Pride.
Jon Fitch is a tough guy, I ll take that argunment, because Fitch and Forrest fight in the 2 toughest divisions in the UFC...I dont know If i ll say Fitch is tougher, because Forrest has beaten both Shogun and Rampage one after the other, and he should have beaten Tito Ortiz but the judges messed the call up.
the reason this is so great is because he came out to the wonderful Dropkick Murphys, one of the best Irish-American punk bands in this country, and flat out one of the best bands in the world.
griffin is one of the most awesome fighters to watch so crazy, and can take one hell of a beating congrats on the belt you have been waiting along time and deserve it. Forrest #1
When you deny your heritage and culture you piss on everything your ancestors went through, Im half irish half french and the irish for some strange reason are insanely proud to be irish. I dont know why.
I'm from Dublin in Ireland and the reason the Irish are so proud is because we alway's seem to be the underdog's but almost alway's overcome the odd's!!
to:litmusicock and Indiana255; guys thank you for your comments it is nice to hear comment that are well thought. Yes I do understand. my comment is based on the "details" not on the over all aspect of ufc. Forrest is one of my favorite fighters he is down to earth just like all the Irish that I have come to meet and have a drink with........CHEERS
This is what I don't like about AMERICAN FIGHTERS...........fooling people from other countries that they still attach to their roots, and culture.......typical this is a way to cash in....However if you wave the flag of another country here in the USA.......you are an immigrant........this is funny shit. I like forrest but he is an american not an Irish...
He didn't fool anyone, hardly a week passes where we don't laugh at some dumb American who claims he's Irish due to his granny having an Irish dog :) Then again some would say the only real Americans are the Natives and every white man is an immigrant. Who knows?
@Indiana255 thats the truth i think, americans dis other countries but hardly any americans alive today have american roots.. but then you could probably say that about us british aswell
I have relatives that still live in Ireland, out of respect for the Irish I used to say I,m an American of Irish decent,then an Irish friend of mine said when u see a Japanese person do u say" hes an American of Japanese decent", no u say that guy is Japanese, you say that because of his appearance, an IRISH person can look like any of the many white ethnic groups that exist,my relatives have no problem with yanks callin themselves Irish because just maybe they are
"American" is what one is called from "America", a European settlement. "Native Americans" are the only American heritage, and they only use "Native American" for ease-of-use, ask any NA and they'll use their tribe's name, not the European name of "American". Irish, German, Italian etc. is what makes up America. So Forrest, by blood and heritage, is Irish.
he's not fooling anyone of course he's american, but of irish decent, so dana white wanted him to fight in ireland & represent where his family immigrated from, it makes perfect sense
for example, i'm American i was born in america but my mom dad & brothers were all born in mexico, where i lived for 2 years, i'm definitely going to represent mexico even though i am american
@mestizo2009 you are a fucking tool he's not trying to fool anyone he uses that entrance song for ALL of his fights, it just happens to have an Irish theme you fucking twat
@mestizo2009 from a guy named mesitzo and in the United States... like the pot calling the kettle black. you boldy announce your ethnicity for your screename but have a problem if a white person does it obviously, makes perfect sense
@mestizo2009 DIpshit the song is called I'm Shipping Up to Boston. The song does nothing, but show how proud of his Boston roots he is. Nothing Irish about it. Dropkick Murphy's is a Boston band that has Celtic influence in their music. Neither of those things show that Forrest is claiming to be Irish
@mestizo2009 Hes Irish American, not all black people are from Africa but they are considered African Americans. And dont pull the "they came here against their will" shit, because if the Irish wouldve stayed, they wouldve died.
this is a kick ass video im in love with forrest griffin and have been ever since i first seen him and in this video you feel like your really there good job guys awesume video
That looks like its thw worst seat in the house.
