In the leadup to UFC Vegas 13, welterweight Max Griffin spent time working on his muay Thai technique. Specifically, he refined his elbows, and how to use the right part of them to slice open opponents.
When Griffin stepped back in the third round of his fight with Ramiz Brahimaj, he realized he’d done good, and also, he felt bad.
“It looked like a brain dangling from his head,” Griffin told reporters after Saturday’s event at UFC APEX, where he was ruled the winner of his fight by third-round TKO when referee Mark Smith took one look at Brahimaj’s appendage and called it off.
