UFC 106 Results: Kendall Grove Taps Out Jake Rosholt

by Kid Nate on Nov 21, 2009 9:11 PM EST in MMA Events

In the first fight of Spike TV's live undercard broadcast, Rosholt, the decorated wrestler came out early shooting for the takedown. He got Grove down early, but being in Grove's guard proved to be a dangerous place to be as Da Spyder earned his nick name by trapping Rosholt's arm and forcing the tap out by triangle choke with 3:59 left in the first round.

Rosholt had escaped from a poor position only moments earlier when Grove got a take down and forced the wrestler onto his back. Cracking Grove with a left, Rosholt shot for another take down and briefly had mount position on the lanky Grove.

But the Hawaiian was able to quickly reverse fortunes by grabbing onto the Oklahoman's wrist and working first for an arm bar and then locking in a triangle choke and getting the tap out.

This is a major step back for the highly touted blue chip wrestler and a big step towards redemption for Grove, a former The Ultimate Fighter winner.

SHould've pulled the trigger

I haven't been impressed with Rosholt

and would’ve bet small on Kendall.

He doesn’t have enough experience to ‘not get caught’ in a submission. Lots of wrestlers take time to develop and he still needs to spend a couple of years on jiu jitsu positioning and defense and striking and he could turn out to be pretty good.
