Video: Forrest Griffin makes good on bet with UFC champ Cody Garbrandt, shaves head

Newly crowned UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt agreed to give Forrest Griffin a pass after the latter lost a bet surrounding Garbrandt’s UFC 207 co-main event fight with Dominick Cruz.

Griffin (19-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) lost the bet fair and square, though, and he refused to take Garbrandt’s out. As a result, the former UFC light heavyweight champion was required to shave his head.

Garbrandt (11-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), who captured the 135-pound title with a sensational unanimous-decision win over Cruz (22-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) at this past Friday’s pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, bet Griffin that he would emerge victorious from the fight against “The Dominator.”

Griffin had apparently said in an interview that he liked Garbrandt but felt he wasn’t quite ready to challenge for the title. Griffin said he would have preferred for Garbrandt to fight a few more times before competing against Cruz, arguably the best bantamweight in MMA history.

Garbrandt took exception to those comments and organized a hair-vs.-hair bet. Griffin agreed, and after the fight revealed he had to pay the consequences.

Despite the fact “No Love” said at UFC 207’s post-fight news conference that Griffin would not have to go through with it, Griffin opted to do so, and it all unfolded on this week’s edition of “UFC Rankings Report.”

Watch it above.
