Chad Griggs doesn’t need anyone to spell it out for him. He knows what’s going through the minds of both MMA fans and Strikeforce officials. He knows why he was offered the fight with Bobby Lashley at the August 21 Strikeforce event in Houston.

“Everybody’s counting on me losing,” Griggs (8-1) told MMA Fighting. “That’s great. I’m the underdog. They’ve blown Bobby Lashley up into this huge, unbeatable superstar. He’s very big, very strong, he’s going to be explosive. But I think he’s been blown up into a little more than he is just yet.”
