Griffin, who beat Faber in a Gladiator Challenge fight in 2005, had a longstanding war of words with Faber. He was also the only person to have a win over Faber on his record until Brown did it last year. And Griffin thinks that Faber is still very beatable.
"I like Mike Brown, just because he's a sound fighter," Griffin said. "Obviously, I'm not a big fan of Urijah's for obvious reasons, but outside of that, from a pure standpoint, he's a reckless fighter who hasn't learned to not be reckless. Mike Brown is a sound fighter who's consistently sound. He won't make a mistake and Urijah's going to make a mistake. I'm sure he's not going to make a mistake as early as he did in their last fight, but I think, just stylistically, Mike Brown is a terrible match-up for him. ... Brown's a bigger, smarter fighter who's got a better camp around him."
I agree with Maynard and Griffin: I'm picking Brown.
