Tyson Griffin Says He Got To Live His Dreams

April 30, 2016 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Tyson Griffin spoke about his career in MMA and said that he’s been living his dream so far. Here are highlights:

On passing what he’s learned on to others: “I’m just trying to pass on my experiences that I’ve learned, both good and bad, and trying to help fighters succeed and train smart and come back from their injuries as healthy as they can.”

On if he’ll ever return to fighting: “Yeah, at this point, I’m done competing. I love competition; I don’t think I’ll ever stop wanting to compete. If I go fishing with my friends, I’m competing with them. That’s something I’m always going to do. But competing as a fighter right now doesn’t seem smart. If my arm comes back and it gets strong, I’ll fight again, I promise you that. But if my arm never comes back, I probably won’t fight again, and that’s kind of the way nerves are. You don’t know. Those people they say are paralyzed for life, they fight back, and they end up walking again. I guess that might be my arm. I can say I want to fight, but only time will tell.”

On being happy with his MMA run: “The fact that I got to live out my dreams, I can die tomorrow and die a happy man. The only thing I have left to do is maybe start a family one day and have some kids and try to create a business. But outside of that, I’m content with what I’ve done in the sport, and everything else is icing on the cake.”
