In September 2005, an unknown 21-year-old upstart named Tyson Griffin handed him his first loss in nine fights to take the Gladiator Challenge lightweight title.

And while much of the buzz surrounding their fight has focused on [...] Being around boxing and mixed martial arts Dana White has seen some pretty nasty stuff.
