Max Griffin scores a split decision win over Jeremiah Wells (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) Strange fight overall
10-9 Griffin RD3 29-28 Wells Round 1 was close and judges do tend to put more on the last sequence than they should. Likely split coming here. For who? I’ll say Griffin even though I scored it Wells. Based on my experience with the judges of the GREAT NSAC! #UFCVegas86
Max Griffin 🟥vs🟦 Jeremiah Wells => Score Round #3 #UFC #UFCVegas86 #MMATwitter
Griffin puts Wells on the fence with 1 min left. Griffin really wants this takedown. #UFCVegas86
Wells back to throwing single shots. Griffin is countering well, but he's got to do a LOT more. Right hand trade, lefts missed. Spinning heel kick misses, Griffin ducked it, shot in for a double. #UFCVegas86
Wells thought about a spin, nope. He comes in and eats a clean right! Griffin right hand off the Wells jab. #UFCVegas86
Tentative round 3 so far between Griffin and Wells. Neither man wants to get caught late. #UFCVegas86
Griffin continues to put the pressure on, but he's not throwing. Wells says cool and lands on him. Griffin right hand lands off the missed jab from Wells. Wells missing wild and Griffin straight right lands. #UFCVegas86
R3 - Kinda surprised we're here, but hey ok. Wells continues to get fancy with the kicks to the body. Griffin right hand. #UFCVegas86
10-9 Wells RD2 20-18 Wells His cardio is potentially a liability for the third. Does Max Griffin have enough to throw together some combinations and get the finish he likely needs? Could be 1-1 #UFCVegas86
20-18 Wells. Wild and sloppy, but he's wanging Griffin with the bigger shots. #UFCVegas86
Max Griffin 🟥vs🟦 Jeremiah Wells => Score Round #2 #UFC #UFCVegas86 #MMATwitter
Jeremiah Wells is probably wondering what he has to do to get Max Griffin out of here. He’s landed so many heavy clean power shots. #UFCVegas86
BIG shots from Griffin and Wells felt that!!! HERE COMES GRIFFIN!!! OH HERE COMES WELLS!!!! PUTS GRIFFIN ON THE FENCE!!!! Griffin defending well! 10 seconds!! Round over on the fence. #UFCVegas86
Spinning heel kick lands to the body for Wells! BIG SHOTS TRADED!!!! Wells side kick to the body. #UFCVegas86
Wells landed again! Griffin gained a bit of respect with a strike or two back but Wells is inching this thing so far. #UFCVegas86
Griffin reverses, then gets reversed on the fence then gets it again. Elbow for him on the break. Wells jab is landing. Griffin jab and avoids the wide counters. #UFCVegas86
Big shots traded midway through round 2. Wells clinches and pushes Griffin to the fence. #UFCVegas86
Even with this score I still lean Max Griffin here as a whole for the fight. Wells is going to gas with all the muscle and be liable if we head into the 3rd round. #UFCVegas86 https://t.co/3WNO3tfipo
R2 - One clash here so far. Both men are being super careful up until there are 30 seconds left on the clock. OHHH BIG SHOTS FROM BOTH BUT WELLS LANDED THE HARDER ONES AND GRIFFIN MIGHT BE HURT!!!! WELLS CLINCHES AND LOOKS TO SET UP FOR A TAKEDOWN BUT GRIFFIN IS STILL HERE!…
10-9 Wells. Just a lot of unhinged nonsense out there, but he caught Griffin with some heavy shots along the way. #UFCVegas86

GRIFFIN TO HIS FEET, WELLS DROPS FOR A DOUBLE!!!! GRIFFIN DEFENDING! Andre Petroski in the crowd. Random sighting, I know. WELLS GOING OFF WITH HAYMAKERS!!!!! #UFCVegas86
Lots of feinting here. Max looks like he has that right knee locked and loaded for a takedown attempt from Wells.... Wells with another jab. He's not shooting yet. OHHH HE COMES IN, LANDS AND TAKES GRIFFIN DOWN!!!! #UFCVegas86
A lot of feeling out process now but we’ve seen Wells throw two spinning back fists of which he’s not known for. Griffin lands a clean jab. He has a new coach in his corner who is highly regarded. Max seems to be the better by a inch. #UFCVegas86
Wells is feinting a bunch with some sounds too lol. Wells with a nasty jab. Griffin with a combo as soon as he saw Wells come to him. #UFCVegas86
R1 - Griffin vs. Wells - Wells tries some fancy spinning heel kick to the leg from the rip LMAO Big shots from Wells hit arms. WOW MORE SPINNING ISH FROM WELLS wow! Doesn't land clean but wow. Jab for him. #UFCVegas86
