I thought the UFC signed him?

I think that was just a rumor

I was hoping the UFC had actually signed him. He had a profile on their page. Still, definitely looking forward to this, should be interesting.

Dammit.  I was pumped for Minowa in the UFC.

Grove is a tough fight.  Minowa needs to hit that chin.
