UFC: Mahood vs. Griffin
Bill "The Butcher" Mahood vs. Forrest Griffin is next.
Griffin is in his first "real" UFC fight after appearing on the Ultimate Figher show on Spike TV. Mahood is 15-0 and making his UFC debut.
Now, in boxing, if you have someone inexperienced you're looking to make a name with, you build him up against a string of palookas until he sinks or swims. I don't know if that's what's going on here because I don't know enough about Mahood. If Griffin loses to someone no one but the hardcore audience knows, he's toast.
Dominos is here ...
Pretty big ovation for Griffin, so the crowd obviously watched the show.
Round 1 -- Griffin knocks down Mahood early and Mahood goes into the guard. This goes on for awhile, then eventually Griffin gets behind him and gets Mahood into a rear choke, which looked like a pro wrestling sleeperhold. Mahood taps, at 2:18. I remain suspicious of Mahood's credentials. Not that I'd question him to his face or anything.
Hey if anyone not in my immediate circle of friends is reading this, drop me an email and I will give you a personal shout-out.
Good quote from Griffin's interview: "I heard some gurgling, so I figured I may as well go for it."
