Prediction: wrong Maynard   wrong Decision  

Definitely an interesting fight Grant would certainly prove his point with a win over Maynard but I don't think Maynard is quite ready to give up his footing yet.

Prediction: correct Grant   wrong Decision  

If Maynard wins, I think he'll do it by shutting down Grant's offense. Hope TJ pulls it off and keeps up his incredible streak.

I think Maynard has more ways to win this fight, he should be able to outwrestle TJ and I feel like his boxing is better.  Maynard UD

Grant has looked great lately but I think Maynard is too much too soon.

Not if Grant hits him like Edgar did! And T.J. looks like he hits harder than Frankie.

Prediction: correct Grant   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

If TJ wins this fight then he could be the fastest rising guy in a long time. I saw nobody talking about him before that Dunham fight, now hes loooking great. 

Plus he's Canadian so ... +1.

Picking the upset. Grant is so hard to take down, and his footwork is incredible. I say he kickboxes his way to a dominant decision here.

It doesn't make sense to me why they didn't set up Cerrone/Maynard and Grant/Noons

I like this fight much better than Cerrone/Maynard. With Noons/Cerrone, you get 2 strikers going at each other. Maynard would probably beat Cerrone in a boring decision, at least there's some intrigue with the Grant fight.

Yeah, KJ would be a huge step down for TJ. Cerrone/KJ and Maynard/Grant makes sense to me, i like it.

If Grant won how crazy would that be?! Really hoping he pulls something out and wins this fight.. I will probably end up picking Gray Maynard via decision. But I am hoping for the best for TJ Grant.

Totally rooting for Grant, but Maynard will win.

Maynard has never fought someone with Jiu-Jitsu as good as Grant's

Except for Nate's............and well...Kenflo's.......and Jim Miller's....hmmm,...

Would he ever win any other way? ^^ Benson will run through Maynard. No split there.

I think Maynard would do quite well against Benson. At least on paper.

Prediction: wrong Maynard   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Benson's wrestling is vastly overrated. Gray is robotic but just as athletic with more power. Henderson is more varied but I don't think his bottom game would be a threat to Gray. Gray's chin has cracked in the past but that might be the weakest part to Henderson's game. I really don't see anyway that Benson wins.

Prediction: wrong Maynard   wrong Decision  

I'm thinking of going Grant here. Honestly how much has Gray used his wrestling lately? He's become a counter puncher. I think Grant can take this based on his aggression and just throwing more strikes. And he is extremely difficult to control on the ground anyway, Hendricks had trouble with him so I hardly see Maynard dominating him with wrestling.
