Griggs should take him out. Diabate isn't the striker he once was.

I think it takes Griggs no more then 4 minutes to finish the fight.

Cyrille has only been TKO'd once. To freaking Shogun. I personally don't think Griggs is that great, but he has that power. I think Cyrille can win this one by using his reach and keep distance.

Griggs is massively overrated, he is nothing special and Diabate will prove that

Griggs loses due to looking like an expert mechanic.After this loss his shop will open up.He will make millions and go down as the most successful mechanic in history.Courtesy of the chops.

But seriously.Is this at LHW?I would assume Griggs is moving down.Something to think about when making a pick.

Power vs. Technic in this fight all the way. Diabate is one of the most accurate strikers around, I think he has the tools to tool Griggs. That said I like the Gravedigger, and he sure has the power and agression to dig Diabate's grave with one overhand right.

I like this fight, good match up...

Griggs better hope he can get the take down, because Diabate will straight embarrass Griggs standing.

griggs aint to good on the bottom either. Brown arm triangled him in a matter of seconds, it was horrendous defence.
