Kendall Grove comes back strong

In a world where you're often judged by your last performance, losing 2 in a row can be horrible for your MMA career. That's the dilemma Kendall Grove was in coming into last night's bout with Evan Tanner. The Ultimate Fighter 3 winner, Grove, dropped two in a row via TKO and was in a self described "loser leaves town" match with Tanner. Grove though brought his A-game and showed some great takedown defense, scrambling skills and effectively striking using his reach. By defeating a seasoned vet and former UFC middleweight champion Grove showed he belongs in the UFC and created a positive image of himself in the collective MMA psyche, which can be rather fickle.
