Thoughts and opinions on Griffin? I like the kid, but he has lost 4 out of his last 5 bouts. Granted, his last win was at 145. THOUGHTS:?

I can honestly say I knew that he wasn't going to take the fight with Bart seriously, and it really cost him.  I don't think he has the same passion or drive that he used to.  He should build himself up in another organization, he's still a young guy with alot of potential.

I agree with you @Fresno..He's a really cool, humble guy... I saw him as a threat in the LW division, then all of a sudden he turned :( He def needs to find that PASSION! LETS GO TYSON!

I don't think they will cut him just yet, this guy has 3 fights of the night and usually goes for it which Dana loves. I doubt this performance will get him cut from the UFC, but you never know these days

@poir .. Actually 5 fight of the nights. And one fight of the year. I also doubt he will be cut.

I think they give him another fight as well.

Dana likes guys who bring the fight to whoever they face .... Tyson Griffin brings the fight to whoever he faces. He wont get cut.

I think Tyson needs to just learn how to do more than throw 1-2 punches with no reach advantage combined with leg kicks.
