Max Griffin

Max Griffin, better known as "Pain", brings a 20-13 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as welterweight, every single win matters.

A balanced operator — 9 wins by KO, 2 by submission, 9 on the scorecards. No single weapon to game-plan around, which is exactly the problem. Add a 76" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.

He's coming off a loss to Victor Valenzuela. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.

At 40, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
