Zinkin Entertainment, Griffin's management group has confirmed that Forrest is physically fine following his loss Saturday night. Despite many internet rumors, Griffin suffered no broken jaw and he is physically okay, said the Zinkin representative, but emotionally he is definitely not dealing well with the loss.


Good to hear he wasn't seriously injured but then why did he run from the cage following the bout?
