UFC Record Breakdown
N/A
Max Griffin's back after a rough stretch, and he needs this one bad. "Pain" has dropped two straight, including a split decision to Chris Curtis back in July and a third round rear naked choke from Michael Chiesa at UFC 310. Those losses sting, but Griffin's still dangerous. The dude's a veteran who knows how to scrap, and he's facing Victor Valenzuela, who's making his UFC debut. That's a massive step up in competition for "Joe Boxer." Here's the thing about Griffin. When he's on, he can bang with anybody at 170.
Griffin's at his most dangerous when he smells blood in rounds two and three, where he's finished fights before.
He grinded out a split decision over Jeremiah Wells in February 2024, showing he can still get it done when the pressure's on. Before that, he beat Tim Means in another split decision back in October 2022. The guy's been in wars, and he knows what it takes to survive in the Octagon. Valenzuela's walking into a buzzsaw if he's not ready for Griffin's experience and toughness. This is classic UFC matchmaking.
Take a vet who's hungry to get back in the win column and put him against a hungry newcomer trying to make a name. Griffin's got the striking to keep it standing and dirty, and he's not afraid to get into a firefight. Valenzuela better be ready for fifteen minutes of hell, because Griffin's fighting for his job right now.
