Prediction: wrong Grove   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

You heard it right here. Grove has the better standup and can hurt Maia there. Grove has good clinch attacks also and that is where Maia tries to get his takedowns. On the ground Kendall will know what is coming and he wasn't submitted in a long fight with Ricardo Almeida. 

-400 or whatever for Demian Maia is over the top. Here comes the big upset.

Prediction: correct Maia   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

Grove knows how to use that scary reach, and I can see him tagging Maia, but not enough to make a difference. I think Maia's BJJ is beyond Almeida's.

Prediction: correct Maia   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Demian eats black belts for breakfast... unless the black belt is named Anderson Silva, plus Anderson COULDN'T finish him & Kendall stand up is over rated. If this ends in the ground it's over for The Team Dagger member. Maia in 3 rounds.

Kendall is a solid fighter but he's not on Maia's level.

i think grove has a good shot in this one.  i'm not sure maia's gonna get the takedowns on him, and kendall has a nice game standing and from the clinch.
