LAS VEGAS – Max Griffin is still hurt by his loss to Neil Magny, even if he was paid as though it was a win.
Griffin (32-13-1 MMA, 14-10 UFC), who returns to action against Tim Means (17-9 MMA, 6-7 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 213 co-headliner, suffered a controversial split decision loss to Magny at UFC on ESPN 33 in March. The result snapped a three-fight winning streak, and in Griffin’s opinion, cost him a spot in the UFC rankings.
It wasn’t all bad, though. Griffin revealed during Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 213 media day that he was paid the entirety of his purse by the promotion, merely because the brass thought he was wronged by the judges.
