Forrest’s Staph Infection

Jeesh, I really hope no one is stopping by the site while eating dinner. One look to your right, and you’ll understand why.

Forrest Griffin, who was recently scratched from his UFC 70 bout with Ryoto Machida, apparently has another problem: the desire to share way too much with his fans.

I just swung by MySpace (don’t forget that you can find UFCjunkie.com at myspace.com/ufcjunkie_com), and Griffin — the light heavyweight winner from the first season of The Ultimate Fighter — had posted two videos of himself getting treatment for the staph infection that set up residence in his right knee.

The nasty infection, which forced the UFC to find a replacement for his April 21 bout (David Heath accepted the invitation), appears to be every bit as serious as fans were told. Despite UFC 71 being more than five weeks away, it’s obvious Griffin will be in no condition to train anytime soon.

At first, I thought Griffin simply had a sick sense of humor. However, when the camera pans to his face in the second clip, you can see that the UFC veteran looks sick and depleted — and in anything but a jovial mood.

Poor b**tard.

To those few pathetic souls out there who claimed Griffin was somehow faking the infection or relying on a BS excuse to get out of his fight, I invite you to stick a few fingers in the open wound that’s engulfed the fighter’s leg.
