Joe Stevenson (sadly) or Danzig could be next…

I don’t care about Kendall to be honest.

I thought that accolade went to Travis Lutter?

Dana White: Who?

I don’t think he counts people from the comback season since they were already somewhat established fighters and had fought in the UFC before.

Kendall Grove at http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=videoPlayer.home&gid=18316:

The layoff made me hungrier. I went 6-7 months without even thinking about fighting and I’m just hungry to get back in there. [Jason Day is] a Jack of all trades, he knows a little bit of everything and he’s dangerous at a little bit of everything. He’s a scrapper, I think I’m the same way, I’m a Jack of all trades — with that I think we match up pretty good. We both had long layoffs, I respect him and I’m excited to get in there with him and see what he’s got. At the end of the day no matter what happens to me whether my career goes down the tubes or I become the next middleweight champ my daughter is still gonna love me no matter who I am. I just wanna go in there, fight my heart out and make my daughter proud.

That doens't sound too confident.

Let’s be honest, Grove was done a long time ago. He was viciously brutalized by Rivera. I think Rivera ended his career that night.

He's coming off a win.

Why’s he on the chopping block?

Of course, I concede that if you can’t beat Jason Day you probably shouldn’t be in the UFC.

Also, Grove has the worst chin this side of Jonathan Goulet.
