It’s funny how bitter he still is about Machida dominating him for 14 minutes.

Yeah man. He’s probably still embarassed over not being able to hit Machida. Still, that triangle/arm bar at the end almost gave me a heart attack. I recall watching the fighting screaming, “No! No! No!”

I love me some Sexyama!

Me too

It’s precisely the reason I said 14 minutes.

Both guys got embarrassed by Black House champions. One for 15 minutes over a year ago and one in 3 minutes months ago, have to take the fresher man who got stopped in this one.

Big difference in how they were beat, though. Any lesser man would’ve played russian roulette with a full cylinder after the Silva fight.

Two ways to take it, turn all of that embarrassment then turn it into aggression and take it out on your next opponent. Or give up and phone it in.

Thinking that it’s going to be the first one, but who really knows whats going inside the head of Griffin.
