Forrest Griffin is largely responsible for saving the UFC. 20 years ago, Griffin won Season 1 of “The Ultimate Fighter” as a light heavyweight. His memorable war with the late Stephan Bonnar on April 9, 2005 helped the promotion at a time where they were struggling financially, and the UFC brass are forever grateful for it. Despite losing the fight, Bonnar was also awarded a UFC contract. Griffin and Bonnar helped put the UFC on the map, and bolstered television ratings that night.
