    In a way, you're right, because he's been plagued by knee injuries since then but when he was together he was brilliant against Machida in both fights. Now, it's a different story, not only are his knees held together in MacGyver fashion but he's taken an utter drubbing of the sort that leaves fighters shattered hulks of what they were.

    Thanks for the spelling lesson - no doubt all the internet work has prepared you well.


    Not just me but others are simply amused at someone pretending to discuss but really just looking to be an arse. Your an improved version of HENDO whose act is just old. He even had a dip here by chance?

    Everything you state I have done has actually been yourself carrying on like a fool. Your so busy blabbing off you can't distinguish between what you type and what others haven't even written.

    When you get a one year roller with no heart lecturing and crowing about his greatness, giving advice about intricacies in the sport he has no feeling or experience for then bet your bottom dollar that person is considered an arsehole by the majority. Wouldn't suprise me if you acted that way on that mat as well. Must have been a highlight of their year to have you rolling in a class.

    Your a grown man with this approach to something you quit after one year and now make excuses to avoid?
    So Mike "Metal Mandible" Goldberg - once you grow a heart and some balls why don't you try and learn properly instead of recommending 2 minute choke practice as seen on Xbox !

    no, not really. Griffen is pretty below average in about everything he does. Not a lot of power or technique, he's very sloppy, slow, deliberate. Aside from his heart and will, there isn't a single thing he does that has stood out in any of his fights.

    Im not saying he's great at everything, and his technique is indeed sloppy. But he has shown dedication to improve since the Bonner/Jardine days imo

    Mixes up his strike well, but of course his sloppiness and speed count against him here. No mug on the ground. But I do agree with your criticisms, but the only guys who have truly outclassed him are guys with ko power. And Keith Jardine

    I just think 'No skill' is harsh
