Mark Munoz Reigns GnP en Route to Victory Over Kendall Grove
The UFC sure picked the right fight to start their “UFC 112: Invincible” pay-per-view broadcast on Saturday after Kendall “Da Spyder” Grove and Mark “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” Munoz put on a spectacular show. Fans got everything they expected, as Grove used his reach to time and drop Munoz in the 1stRound with a vicious uppercut after the former Oklahoma State Cowboy shot for a takedown.

Thankfully for the Reign fighter, he found a way to survive ...
UFC 112: Kendall Grove vs Mark Munoz booked for April 10
Middleweights Kendall Grove (11-6) and Mark Munoz (7-1) are set to do battle at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates on April 10, 2010.

Got my first win at a weight that I haven’t been at for over a decade. It was a hard fought fight. Nick was a formidable opponent, very tough, and in great shape. He showed great skill in the octagon that night. I had to enforce my heart, will, and conditioning to pull out the victory. After watching the fight back, I feel there are several aspects I need to work on. Going in the right... [Read more...] |
