Now entrenched at 145, Tyson Griffin is gunning for Jose Aldo?s belt

Between injuries and tough decisions not going his way Tyson Griffin has become sort of a forgotten man in the UFC. The featherweight is trying to change that in his new weight class. One that he believes is lot more competitive than many who cover and follow the sport. Jose Aldo is not unbeatable according to Griffin.

"To be honest, he doesn't use his jab much. There's ways to pick him apart on that aspect," Griffin told ESPNRadio1100/98.9 FM.

Griffin said Florian simply wasn't athletic enough to keep up with the UFC's featherweight champ. Florian was able to slow down the fight at times and score takedowns.

"Allowing himself to get caught against the fence, can allow him to get taken down even more against someone who knows how to get someone down on the ground there," said Griffin.

Up next for Griffin is Bart Palaszewski at UFC 137� on Oct. 29. Check out Griffin's website. To benefit Boys Town of Nevada, he's running a UFC 137 ticket giveaway.
