Chad Griggs today missed his first call-in time to
MMAjunkie.com Radio because he was at his day
job. As a full-time firefighter and paramedic, he can’t just step away
from his cubicle.
On this particular morning Griggs was transporting a patient with chest pains to a hospital in his native Tucson, Ariz.
Griggs, who faces Bobby Lashley later this month at
“Strikeforce: Houston,” can’t always keep the schedule of a full-time
fighter. But he insists he hasn’t cut any corners in his preparation for
the former pro wrestler, and thinks the timing of the Aug. 21 fight is
perfect. That’s because he’s getting in on the ground floor.
