“I could have been in their shoes,” said Griffin.  “I had a chance to work with Boys Town a couple of times for the UFC and learning about the kids down there and what their situations were, I could relate.  Growing up my parents got locked up and I was in foster care for a little bit and I could really relate to those kids and understand what they’re going through and what the situation is.  I was one of those kids back in the day and I just want to really give back based on the situations I came from and help those kids understand that it doesn’t really matter where you come from that you can still come out on top.”

    I wished that Dana White and Diaz could have worked something out to make the fight happen though it should still be a great event.
