Over the course of 3 rounds, both men went to war. While the decision would go to Griffin, as well as a Scion car, a dirt bike, and an Audemars Piguet watch, both fighters would end up receiving a contract. 3 million viewers would tune in and their coaches would set a then pay-per-view record in the following UFC event.
