MILWAUKEE – Things couldn’t be going much better for Jordan Griffin this week. Not only does he get to make his UFC debut after a standout performance on a Dana White’s Contender Series show earlier this year, but he gets to do it in front of his home fans in Milwaukee. “I set large goals, and I hit all of them,” Griffin told MMAjunkie on Wednesday after a workout for fans in Milwaukee. “I think that’s truly amazing, and it’s a blessing, and I’m happy to be here.” Griffin (17-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) takes on Dan Ige (9-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC), also a DWCS product, in a featherweight bout on the prelims at UFC on FOX 31, which takes place Saturday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. Griffin said his trajectory may have been taking him toward the UFC, anyway, even without DWCS
