Griffin not happy with UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer
By Steve Cofield
One of the funniest moments of the night at UFC 86 came when Forrest Griffin nearly ripped Yves Lavigne's shoulder to shreds. Griffin got completely duped by Bruce Buffer's announcement of the winner in his fight against Quinton Jackson.
Who knew Buffer could top himself after the loudest scream ever in the pre-fight intros? His intro of Rampage Jackson shook my chair ringside. But he outdid himself after the fight with the longest dramatic pause in UFC history.
If Griffin hadn't been punched in the head many times and had his math wits about him, he should've known the winner once the 48-46 scores were announced. It indicated a round had been scored 10-8. He was the only the guy who could've gotten a 10-8 round. Instead an emotional Griffin fell victim to the Buffer pause:
"The winner and (insert STILL or NEW) UFC Light Heavyweight champ is..."
The key is the 'still or new.' When Buffer paused, Griffin nearly tore his arm away from Lavigne. A moment of hilarity.
