alot of people think that in the lashley fight griggs got lucky but if you look into the fight again chad griggs got a good game plan since he let him to get his TD and was timming him since he wanted to hit him harder since he knew lashley hasnt feel that kind of power, a true mma power punch and them let him to get tired. it was a total game plan that chad explain later and if we look into lashley last fight he almost lost that one for getting tired and the guida fight, his cardio is bad thanks for his muscles and the punches from chad was entering all night in every td he was scoring.
the guy is a good story and someone to take under consideration and i like both figthers since i am a fan of overeem brothers so i will be cheer for both and no matter what figther get the win i will be happy and for sure this will be a fun fight to watch

That fight went exactly how they practiced in the gym. Hitting a punching bag. That was a pathetic performance by Valentijn.
Good job Griggs. Guy keeps on winning.

i like it both figthers so i am ahppy for griggs, bad perfomance for valetijn but definity Griggs confidence is up to the sky, put this guy on the cage quickly since he needs to be under consideration with his nice winning streak that he is putting
he definity is becoming a fan favorite and a nice surprise in the HW division, he just cant go down th LHW when he wanted to go since he just cant lose right now

I like brawlers, can't say this is the natural progression. Stops fighting until he gets a call years(?)to fight Lashley, doesn't even do all that good, but derails that train which made me an instant fan.
Still, the HW division isn't an easy one to crack, and taking out an Overeem helps move him up, but i'm not sure where.
Maybe if Kharitonv doesn't make the final? I just don't know much a leap you can give him. He still looks like a drunken brawler.
WAR GRIGGS!

Big big ups to Chad, keep em coming. This win was expected since the older over is only there for a check, but a step up in comp is coming soon, keep up the good work.

the savior of the overeem vs werdum card - griggs!
he is the fighter's fighter. he throws with such malice. i was a big fan since the lashley smashley, would pay for a griggs main event. imo he would stomp barnett. go griggs.

I've been a big fan of "TBA" since he got picked to fight Lashley.
Great guy!

Griggs is the man. I can't believe so many people were picking Overeem over him after his last fight. "the other" Overeem has never been a very good fighter and has wilted under pressure quite a few times... Griggs was going to bring pressure and heavy hands. I like this guy a lot and am a bit pissed that I couldn't choose yes on all three options... WAR GRIGGS!!

I'm hoping Barnett fails his drug test and Griggs takes his spot in the tournament.

i disagree. look at how many times a shot monsoon was (in-fight wise and career wise) and he still landed a few big punches. and again he's shot, griggs isn't.
ive never been impressed with daniel cormier. that match with devin cole was a joke, if that (and what we saw tonight) is what you call improvement and skills, then id like to know what kind of quality you think griggs has shown in comparison. ill tell you the difference between both their last 2 matches: cormier looked awful at times, griggs did not.

Monson is still solid....he is not a slauch, Monson is superior to V Overeem IMO
I thought DC looked great, his striking was solid, He would take Griggs down at will if he wanted and just smash him there and his stand up looked good today

re: monson ''still solid'' - solid prison build doesn't = solid.
re: cormier standup ''good'' - not sure if serious.

Did nobody notice that Griggs was constantly hitting the back of Overeem's head?
At first it was just fairy taps and the ref called him out on it but he kept doing it regardless. Ok, not really damaging, but still illegal.
And then in the ground and pound before the fight was stopped, he was going full-tilt smashing punches into the back of his head. There was absolutely no way that wasn't on purpose. You can't say Overeem was turning into them 'cause he wasn't defending at all. Sure, Griggs was owning him, but the bloody ref should've deducted a point for this and it says a lot about Grigg's character that he kept on doing it.
