UFC's Forrest Griffin trying to ice skate is the funniest thing you'll see today
There might be some goons in the NHL who would do better in the UFC than Forrest Griffin would in the NHL.
The UFC Hall of Famer is in Sweden this week for the UFC Fight Night on Fight Pass: Nelson vs. Story and Wednesday he attempted to skate with one of the local hockey teams. It's a good thing he was wearing full gear, because Griffin spent as much time on the ground as he did on his feet.
Griffin, a former UFC light heavyweight champion, was never really known for his footwork as a fighter, so maybe it isn't so surprising what a struggle this was for him. However, if he could ever figure the whole thing out, could you imagine a better guy to have in a hockey fight? Griffin would pull out all the stops.
Alexander Gustafsson also went to the rink Wednesday and apparently showed off some fancy skating skills. He also spent some time teaching the players striking. Maybe he could teach Griffin a few things about handling himself on the ice, too.
