Tyson Griffin announced (via his official website) he will undergo surgery to repair issues in his knees but once he returns to the Octagon, he will do so as a featherweight. The Xtreme Couture product says he will be "stronger and better than ever" in his run for the 145-pound belt.

maybe kenny should just work on his wrestling exclusively instead of hopping weight classes.

griffin has been walking around much lighter these days thanks to a new diet. he's been planning on moving down to 145 for awhile.

Griffin said he walks at 180+, that's a huge cut.

Griffin is a huge dude, i really can't see him cutting anymore weight than he already does, unless he has substantially changed his diet etc..Doesn't he walk around at 180 or 90??
