RIO DE JANEIRO – Following Forrest Griffin’s devastating loss to fellow
former champ Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at Saturday night’s UFC 134 event, it
was fairly evident that words were not going to console him.
So UFC president Dana White did the next best thing: He gave him a ride home.
Griffin who just moments before the evening’s
post-event press conference received a surprise announcement that his
wife was ready to give birth to their daughter some nine days early,
didn’t make excuses for his performance. But White said he understood completely and wanted to get him back to Las Vegas ASAP.
