UFC Quick Quote: Will you forget that Tyson Griffin lost to Evan Dunham if he can beat Takanori Gomi?

"I was actually the one that let the UFC know that I was ready to get back in there right away if any of the upcoming lightweights fighting got injured, so I was ready, stayed in shape and got back in the gym a week after the (UFC 115) fight and kept the ball rolling. I don't really need much time to prepare. It's not like Gomi's got anything spectacular about him. He's just a hard-nosed fighter and aggressive. I've dealt with that a lot. I think that's a perfect matchup for me. (It’s) not necessarily the loss, (I’m) just disappointed with my performance and just making simple mistakes ... I'd rather be beaten than lose the fight and I feel like I lost the fight against Dunham just being stupid and forcing myself out of similar positions when he's on my back and kind of expecting him to choose a different option and him going for something else. I want to erase that out of my head and the fans’ memories as well."
Hot-and-cold UFC lightweight Tyson Griffin tells Sherdog.com that he hopes to purge the bad memories of his disappointing split decision loss to Evan Dunham at UFC 115 back on June 12 in Vancouver by roughing up promotion sophomore Takanori Gomi when they collide at UFC on Versus 2 this Sunday in San Diego. "The Fireball Kid" burned out against Kenny Florian in his Zuffa debut and will get no favors from Griffin, who stepped in on short notice to replace the injured Joe Stevenson. Will you believe in Tyson Griffin if he can stop the Japanese import?

Diaz got busted up in that one.
Didn’t he get surgery after to fix all the cuts/scars that kept opening up and bleeding?

After the Noons fight
he got the scar tissue removed and bones shaved down or something like that.

Im not too sure about surgery
but what impressed me is how quickly and effortless he transitioned into the gogoplata. Its such a hard technique to set up in a gi/no gi BJJ environement let alone in MMA. Beautiful Jiu Jitsu

This is what jiu-jitsu is about!
I get bored with guys who doesn’t try to finish their opponents. Such submission amazes me.

Totally Agree
I think a beautiful submission is just as if not more sweet than a KO. Hazletts sub off of that wizard is another example of a sub that was like WOW. I also agree with ULF, Tyson has a layer of fat on gut. He could cut to 145 and be top 5 right away.
Griffin had no answer for Dunham in that fight.
Griffin is the best of the second tier at 155, but will never hold the strap. I actually think he would be better served going to 145, if he can make the cut.
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning." - Albert Einstein
He used to fight at 145, the weight cut he can make it's the pay cut he can't.
Griffin should be able to out wrestle Gomi to the W, he’s dumb if he want’s to go in there and trade punches like he did with Franca.

I watched Gomi vs Lil Evil from Pride last night.
I dunno. I saw a lot of lazy jabs mixed with really good combinations… but will he beat a wrestler not interesting in just flat footing it in front of him. Doubtful.
Unless we see some new skills from Gomi Griffin will wrestle him out of the UFC.

you know, that may not be a bad idea
The only obvious flaw I see in that, is he probs won’t ever make more then he is now then. Say he’s making 20k/20k right now (just a guess, no clue). Even if he runs through the 145 in WEC, he’ll still struggle to break that 20k/20k.

lol, no worries at all. i don't mind.
And ya, I call any girl I’m dating “the wife”, or “the Mrs.”. Makes it feel more like a chore and makes me laugh. And as for settling down, I always have been the type. Just had a year off cause I got outta a 3 and some (almost 4) year relationship and it really messed me up. Cared A LOT for the ex. Still do, but its just not gonna work. She’s too party driven and a horrible drunk. So needless to say I was a mess and drowned that feeling with multiple gals. But I was always more then open to a GF, if one worthy came along. Lucky me, I think this ones pretty kick ass, so I’mma hang on for now.

That's true
It’s hard to find a good woman nowadays…it’s funny cause when I was younger all I wanted to do is party and live it up and all I found were girls that wanted to change me and settle down and now that I’m older and want to settle down…all I find are the immature party girls.
Plus there is nothing worse than a girl that is a bad drunk…I’ve had those before and the drama is insane.

I will be 29 in Oct this year.
I’ll probably prepose (sp?) before 2010 ends. We’ve been together for 10 years and I don’t know if she’ll wait on me much longer.
The girl Im with now is everything I could ask for. She’s career focused, good looking and everything else. I see my buddies struggling day to day and story to story.

10 yrs Zino?!? At 29 that’s quite the feat. Well done. The word you were looking to do is “propose”. Although “pre posing” does sound hilarious in my imagination. I’m not quite sure what that would entale.
Yes, growing up sucks. Lol. But I’m a big softy. I fall for a gal fast. It annoys me sometimes lol. I’m always a little envious of the dudes that can seemingly not care at all. But I know that they actually care a lot. They just blackout behind closed doors.
But, its veryyyy hard to not give in to temptation for me. But I did it before. And if their worth it, I’ll do it again (not cheat).

Zino,
Yeah, as stupid as it sounds, I had a weak “no bullshit” tolerance for the ex. And even stupider, I still see us back together in a few years once she’s older, and more mature. Annoys the shit outta me though, wish I could just drop that girl from thought entirely. But I guess time will tell. Once I fall for another I’ll hopefully forget entirely. Lol, not like I ponder it daily or anything! Just yeah… Anyways. Lol
Doonerthesooner,
That’s an almost flawless formula you got there! Taken a page out of the old mans book! (I’m the old man in this case). But once you’re my age, anything below 20 is cutting er realllll close. And legal age here is 19 so. Plus girls that young are trouble! They haven’t got to party and live it up like I had since I’m 26 now. They need their time. Nonetheless have fun brotheran!

by Andrew Keller on Jul 30, 2010 11:56 AM EDT up reply actions
Do not let up on that opportunity...
and honestly, as far as the resume (BZ back me up), the job postings for most companies are going to be for the perfect person in an ideal situation. Those candidates are few and far between because they are typically making more money elsewhere or the position is filled from the Company’s network without “opening” a search and no one ever hears about the opportunity.
My point is that the resume gets you in. You get the job. If you believe that you are only 50% qualified for a position, I guarantee someone who is 10% qualified is dropping resumes on them everyday. So, it never hurts to try, and if you are lucky enough to get the sit-down, it is up to you to make the most of it.
BTW, have you thought of saving about a year’s living expenses and doing a free internship for them? No one turns away free labor. Just let them know up front that you would like the opportunity to make it a career after you prove yourself.
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning." - Albert Einstein
shit didnt mean to post that yet!
anyway, thanks for the advice, and yes i have absolutely thought about saving up and doing an internship. its just gonna take me a while since im kinda at the bottom end of the pay scale here and im gonna be paying off student loans in a couple months, but im already saving up to do just that-an internship. They actually have quite a few of those opportunities, i just havent been able to take advantage of one yet.

…and I would love to see it lol. That one has flying knee KO written all over it with Griffins midget body. Another good one at 145 would be Mike Brown.

Brown/Griffin would be a great fight and I think Tyson could take it he's a better striker and could be a better wrestler.

who is stronger... I'd say Brown... tough call though.
I’d wait for a weigh in before closing the deal on a bet for this

It would be interesting to see him weigh in at 145...I bet he'd be ripped.
He’s pretty fast now…I can just imagine how fast he’d be at 145.
You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who make people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.

I want Gomi to win.
I was never impressed with Griffin. This is probably Gomi’s last chance to be relevant. A win over Griffin would do a lot for him.

Yeah, should be a great fight if anything. I’m pumped for Munoz/Okami too.

This card is WAY better than 120 and that's sad

to us yes. to the everyday fan, they know more ppl on 120.
That’s if they know anybody on this VS card! Lol. But yes, a much more rounded card. Lot of tough fights to call. And should be a night with a few “Wow’s” as well.

120 has two solid fights I think,
this card has solid main card but the prelims are pretty weak. Christmas/Tellys’ fight will probably be scrap and I always enjoy an Irvin fight but over all I’m kinda ehhh.

EVans is a huge lw.
If griffin tries 2 box with gomi he’ll get ko’d. He’ll have a chance if he uses his wrestling. I think he’s guna stand & bang so it’s guna be a fun fight.

Will you forget that Tyson Griffin lost to Evan Dunham if he can beat Takanori Gomi?
No, I won’t. I won’t forget that he is a boring fighter and also won’t forget how he shafter Cesar Gracie.
he shafted Cesar Gracie? Never heard that before.

From Nate:
"Yeah, well, we’re fighters man. It’s like, a lot of guys these days jump around from team to team, and he was with us, and he started acting like he was ahead of me, saying I needed to work my way up to fight him, I heard stuff like that, and I’m like, let’s not beat around the bush. Remember, when he came to my gym…I was already training and I fought before him, and I whooped him. You know, he jumped in sometimes with me and Gilbert in training. He came every now and then and got handled most of the time he was in training. And then I hear him talking [in] interviews and, basically, it’s hard to understand that you’re a fighter but he trained with me, sweat and bled and all that shit, and then people were like ‘oh, don’t you want to go see why they’re training with [Xtreme Couture]?’ And I’m like no, what he did is he’s over there training with Gray now, who I got to fight, talking about everything, whatever the fuck, from when I used to train with him or what I do or whatever. Not Gray specifically, but anybody I might have to fight. As far as I’m concerned, besides being a traitor, it’s all about not being a bitch, fucking over your friends, or whatever, you know?"
There is also an interview with Cesar, in which he states that Griffin had no money to pay for training when they took him in. But Cesar let him train anyways, he goes on to say he will never do that again.
son of a...
never heard that before. Or forgot. Thanks Zosoko…
