I just heard about this the other day. Doesn't bother me at all. After that childish display he showed at his last PPV I'm not a big fan of his at all.

I wanted to see the fight, I thought it would have been very good. Im a big fan of Ryoto, and I wanted to see how Griffin would bounce back...

True, might have been nice to see him get KO'd again
