MMA-KO’s Jeff Gallion the Stallion interviewed Max "Pain" Griffin in
the ring after the fight and asked “Max you have done something
tonight that many have tried to do was beat the legendary Jaime Jara
what do you have to say about that? Griffin said He’s an MMA legend,
seven-time world champ. He’s a veteran, and I mean, I’m 4-0. No one
thought I could beat him. It was a blessing I got this opportunity
to fight him and prove what I could do.
This was an awesome event and all of us here at MMA-KO are counting
down the days for the next big event.
