Griffin (19-10) has gone 2-2 in his last four outings inside the Octagon, recently losing a unanimous decision to undefeated Ecuadorian prospect Michael Morales in July. “Pain” has recorded notable unanimous decision victories against former champion Carlos Condit and Mike Perry.
Meanwhile, Wells (12-3) is coming off a Round 3 technical submission loss to Carlston Harris back in August. Prior to that loss, the former Classic Entertainment and Sports welterweight champion had racked up four consecutive victories inside the Octagon.
The UFC Fight Night card will be headlined by a middleweight meeting between Jack Hermansson and Dana White's Contender Series alum Joe Pyfer at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
