His next task comes in the form of the steady Max Griffin. The 37-year-old came to the UFC roster in 2016, and after some ups and downs, is in the best form of his career, having won four of his last five bouts. Griffin, a 14-fight veteran in the organization, has been one of the toughest outs in the welterweight division the last few years. He has only been finished once in 28 professional fights, which came to Colby Covington in the third round of Griffin’s UFC debut.

He knows where he’s at, and I think it’s going to be very good for me, as well, because that poses a challenge and an opportunity for me to evolve and to continue going forward.”
