Munoz will ground and pound the crap out of Grove

Didn’t Rosholt say he kind of fell into that triangle? I think Munoz may have better sub defense/awareness since he’s been training at Blackhouse. I do think if Kendall wins it will be off his back. It seems like he would always be using his length in the standup as an advantage but it never plays out that way.
Sorry, but Munoz will be likely to get out of this with his life.

I agree, Munoz will likely still be alive after this fight.
Disagree with the last bit, though.

The 108 Curse has only made Joe Silva stronger.

You got my rec anyways
but quite frankly, Silva was never struck down. He was killin’ it even through all the injuries. Dana was suffering from a lack of marketability, but all the fights were solid, compelling match ups. I’ve said this a lot in the past two months, but it can’t be said enough: Joe Silva is really fucking good at his job.

I was referring to his injury not the so-called bad cards lol.

Munoz has bad striking and overrated wrestling.
If Kendall brings his a-game he should be able to submit Munoz.
"He will lie between resentment and regret. He shed his grace. As certain as a snake sheds its skin. Laid waste to a wealth of talent--his curse being blessed with treasures that just were not gold enough"
If is the key word. Kendall is so inconsistent though.
Tough fight for Munoz, I figured they would be padding his record if they are still trying to push into the Filipino market. Hammil, Catone, and Jensen were all perfect opponents for him. Definitely a big step up for Mark.

Overrated National Champion wrestling skills?

I am wondering about that too. How or when exactly has Munoz shown “overrated wrestling?” If Munoz can replicate the gameplan that Ricardo Almeida utilized on Grove, then Munoz can win. Grove has not shown very strong takedown defense either, but his BJJ off his back is something that Munoz will have to look out for.
