Wouldnt really shock me. What does shock me is why you arent sucking all over Michael Johnson's balls just yet.
kendall grove is not going to win... maybe by a one shot ko like marquart otherwise it goes to the ground and he is fininshed. this is basically a gimme for maia.
Not quite Maia without a doubt is one of the best in the world but you cant assume he just finishes Grove on the ground like its nothing. Grove's ground game is better everytime I see him fight I remember he was sooo close to finishing Ricardo Almeida with an Armbar at UFC 101 no easy task, hit a sick Triangle on Jake Rosholt at UFC 106. Maia is the **** but its MMA anything can happen remember Jason MacDonald giving him hell on the ground couple years ago ? Maia couldnt finishing off Mario Miranda either back in August and id say Grove is better then Miranda on the ground.
I agree that this may not be an easy win for Maia. I picked Maia a few moments ago in the prediction league thread, but it was not without deliberation. Grove is a real threat to win a decision if Maia can't finish him inside the distance.
maia will win. grove will lose. you dont think so? watch the fight and see for yourself:good you see I am a psychic.
Grove could have outboxed Maia if only he'd tried harder. Maia is shocking standing-up, he really needs to work on his boxing or Muay Thai if he wants to ever be a champion at the top level. Don't get me wrong i think Maia is one of, if not the best BJJ player in the world but he needs more than that. 3 months at the Wildcard would do him wonders. Lynchburg
