Kendall Grove Fighting Minor Rib Injury Leading Up to the Fight Against Ricardo Almeida

by Nick Thomas on Aug 7, 2009 2:41 PM EDT in News Comment 15 comments

"Grove has spent the last few weeks recovering from a rib injury."

"'Minors,'' Grove said of the injury. ''It hurts like hell, but by the time the fight comes, I should be good. I'm getting older, I guess. I figure I have a good five solid years left in me to fight. Over the years I've matured as a person, as a fighter. Yeah, if you put someone in front of me, I'll fight them, but the UFC isn't everything to me anymore. There's more.'"

It makes me feel better about my parlay.

Disintegration -- I'm taking it in stride.

It’s not the rib so much as the “the UFC isn’t everything to me anymore. There’s more.”

Crap

I was actually pulling for a minor Grove upset here. Kendall better stay on his bike and keep that distance from Almeida for sure now.

“UFC isn’t everything to me anymore. " You just broke a lot of hearts here, Kendall.

BOOSH

Whatever the opposite of a broken heart is, I have it now thanks to his comment. Thanks Kendall!

Not very confidence inspiring for Grove. Sounds like he’s on his way to play Russian Roulette with Andrei.

maybe he’s just shitting us so his line gets better, and he can bet on himself. i hope? or maybe i need to go back and revise my picks…

Ribby!

Hmm. We’ll see how well he fares with a sore rib. Frank Shamwow’s busted rib sure didn’t help him against Diaz.

Forrest said that he actively separates fighting from the rest of his life, he makes it so that he doesn’t define himself as a fighter and the two aspects of his life never affect each other. I know other highly ranked professionals in many fields who have the same philosophy with their lives; it seems like it’s a healthy outlook.

Arlovski is the perfect example, two losses have almost destroyed him as a person because he let the two aspects cross over. If Kendall is figuring this out, he will have a lot less stress going into this fight; we may see the best Kendall yet.
