I believe Grant can take this one if he keeps moving and does a better job than Bendo at grinding against the cage but seriously he can't just rely on that. I'm going with pettis by decision as I can't see him finishing Grant who is a tough MF.

I had no idea how many Ben Henderson fans there were until my post score took a dive as soon as I started saying good things about Anthony Pettis. Sorry fellas.

Grant has been fighting in beast mode for a while now, but I think Pettis is a more technical and versitle fighter and I belive he can defebd his belt if  he stays healthy. that being said this is going to be ******* epic!, 300 movie epic.

Outstriking Maynard and Wiman is one thing.  Striking with Anthony Pettis is much different.  I don't really see Grant having any advantage in this fight.

Pettis is definitely the more technical striker and in my opinion Evan Dunham did out strike Grant, but I don't think Pettis will be as tough as Dunham was, and I think Grant will be able to get this fight to the ground if necessary. This fight is incredibly hard to call in my opinion.
