Griffin, who has fought once before in Brazil just prior to his stint on the Ultimate Fighter (he knocked out Edson Paredao in 64 seconds at Heat FC 2 in late 2003), says he’s changed things up a bit and wants to be a little lighter and quicker to face Shogun, and wasn’t worried about the future after this fight. Does he think he’ll get a title shot with a win at UFC 134?
I don’t know, I don’t care. I just want to beat him (Shogun), you know?
The reporter pressed a bit and asked about Jon Jones:
I don’t think about Jon Jones! Just Shogun.
After brushing off a question about Shogun’s motivation for this fight, he was asked about his own motivation:
I just need to prove that the first fight wasn’t a fluke. I need to prove that I’m still relevant.
