LAS VEGAS – Max Griffin picked up another big win at UFC Fight Night 213, but it came at a cost.
As he sat at a post-fight news conference Saturday, Griffin (19-9 MMA, 7-7 UFC) sported a wrap on his left hand, a covering for what he described as an unpleasant open wound due to internal damage.
“I mashed my hand pretty bad,” Griffin told MMA Junkie and other reporters. “It’s real mushy. I thought I broke my hand. I was going to say some sh*t in the corner: ‘I think I broke my hand.’ But I’m smarter than that. I kept it clean, but it’s what I expected. The only thing different is that he’s a little tougher than I thought. We did what we had to do.”
