A welterweight bout between Max Griffin and Ramiz Brahimaj served as the second contest of today’s UFC Vegas 13 prelims.<\/p>\n
Griffin (16-8 MMA) had entered the contest on a two-fight losing streak, his most recent being a split decision loss to Alex Oliveira<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite his recent struggles, Max Griffin was confident he would rebound at tonight’s event<\/a> in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n “So, he has won all eight fights by submission and lost two out of his last four by decision to guys who are okay. All they did was stuff the takedown. Anyone with any kind of takedown defense beats him,” Griffin explained. “The people he submits are gumshoes guys. I\u2019m going to stuff the takedown and beat the breaks off him. He can\u2019t lie to me and say he is not a grappler, bro. Grapplers don\u2019t like getting hit. He is going to get hit, he is going to get touched up and I\u2019ll put him away. If he doesn\u2019t go to sleep like that I will submit him after he gets knocked down. I\u2019m really looking forward to it, bro. I\u2019m excited about this and I feel like this is a gift.”<\/span><\/p>\n In the end, Max Griffin did what he said he would do and that was score a finish. However, nobody could have predicted the gruesome manner in which the bout was called off.<\/p>\n Check out Griffin’s third round TKO victory – due to ear injury, below:<\/p>\n O M G ! ! ! #UFCVegas13<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/1pmqHrbexA<\/a><\/p>\n — Kyle Marley (@BigMarley3) November 8, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
