After his crushing knockout loss at the hands of Anderson Silva, Forrrest Griffin quite oddly got up and ran out of the stadium. He did not stay for the judges offical descision nor did he attend the UFC 101 post fight press conference. This had many fans speculating on what actually happend?

According to a source on the underground, this is why Forrest left with such haste:

I heard his jaw was dislocated very early in the fight…then he took several more punches to the jaw. Apparently he can’t hear out of the ear on that side either. He left the octagon because he needed medical attention asap. At first they thought his jaw was broken, then said it was dislocated.

This would obviously explain the odd behaviour on his part.

Update:

Joe Ferraro of Sportnet has stated that Forrest’s was “fine”. During the UFC 101 post fight press conference Dana White stated he had not yet seen Forrest following his knockout loss to Anderson Silva. However, he did say the he believed Griffin ran out of the Octagon as a result of being such an emotional fighter.

If any injuries did occur to Forrest or any other fighters they cannot be confirmed yet as the cards medical suspensions haven’t been realised.
