MONTREAL – Chad Griggs’ light-heavyweight debut didn’t go exactly as planned.
The former Strikeforce heavyweight looked quick in his first fight at
205 pounds, but an early left straight from Cyrille Diabate set the tone
for the contest, and “The Snake” ultimately earned a first-round
submission win.
The light heavyweight bout was part of Saturday’s UFC 154 preliminary
card at Montreal’s Bell Centre. It aired on FX following additional
prelims on Facebook and prior to the pay-per-view main card.
