In a recent interview with MMA Junkie Radio, Griffin said, “I’m pumped. Wonderful experience, wonderful time, wonderful opportunity. I’ve actually wanted to fight Carlos since I was young, since I was a kid, so to get this fight now, when I finally figured everything out, it’s amazing.”

Griffin revealed that he was a fan of Condit, and ever since he started doing MMA, he wanted to fight him, he said, “When I used to watch him in WEC, I used to watch him walk around the cage, mean-mugging the camera, and I remember being like, ‘I want to fight that guy.’ Now it’s come full circle. I have nothing but respect for him, legend of the sport. He’s going to be a hall of famer. He’s been there, done that with the best of them – former champion. It’s my time, though. All that stuff’s out the window now. It’s my time.”

“It’s going to be a masterpiece,” Max Griffin promises to put up a performance of a lifetime against Carlos Condit
