According to mmajunkie.com:
A middleweight bout between Kendall Grove and Goran Reljic has been demoted to UFC 116's un-aired preliminary card, and a light-heavyweight fight between Seth Petruzelli and Ricardo Romero has been promoted to its slot on UFC 116's "UFC Prelims" special on Spike TV.
The source said Grove prompted the change after the fighter openly criticized the UFC's longtime cable partner and "The Ultimate Fighter."
Kendal Grove on TapouT Radio: (audio)
"Spike TV pretty much runs everything on The Ultimate Fighter. They could be sub-leasing the UFC name, but I'm sure Dana and the UFC are getting a nice little pay check from Spike but other than that, Spike runs the thing. Dana doesn't choose who's going to be on the show, it's Spike executives."
"Even when I was on there in the earlier seasons, they were picking a couple guys with funny personalities. I'm pretty sure I got on there not because of my good looks, but because I had a pretty good personality."
"Everything is ratings to these guys. Just like that season where they shot [expletive] inside the fruit...people do that stuff. Why? Because of ratings. Is it a health violation? Yeah, but did you see the Spike TV people stop that from happening? It sells ratings and that's all they care about. They could give two [expletives] about our career."
"They just care about the six-weeks that they're shooting and get as much drama and stupidity out of us. That's all we are to them is cattle and sheep. They way they run things, they're slowly controlling us to be like that."
Main card:
Brock Lesnar vs. champ Shane Carwin
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Chris Leben
Matt Brown vs. Chris Lytle
Stephan Bonnar vs. Krzysztof Soszynski
Kurt Pellegrino vs. George Sotiropoulos
On Spike:
Brendan Schaub vs. Chris Tuchscherer
Seth Petruzelli vs. Ricardo Romero
Preliminary card:
Kendall Grove vs. Goran Reljic
Dave Branch vs. Gerald Harris
Forrest Petz vs. Daniel Roberts
Jon Madsen vs. Karlos Vemola

Well, well, well
I predicted this would happen as soon as Grove made his point. Boy Zuffa is like a vindictive ex-girl.

If Grove is correct, then Zuffa has nothing to do with it.

Grove was talking about TUF not the events.
Moving Grove from the main card to the Spike-broadcast prelims is clearly a bit of ironic vindictiveness on the part of Zuffa.
If you fight, you fight. If you hope, you hope.
You might want to read more carefully.
Grove was never on the main card. He was moved from the Spike prelims to the unaired prelims.
i kinda think it was gonna happen anyway
they’ll throw kimbos name around mention petruzelli as the kimbo slayer and a bunch of people will tune in, kimbos name is ratings gold and petruzelli is firmly attatched to it at this point due to him beating kimbo
plus people stopped caring about grove years ago i personally would rather tune in to watch petruzelli who i find interesting over grove
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
There’s probably the idiot factor that knows Seth because the Kumbo defeat. There’s also the fan factor that knows Seth has been a decent fighter with a fun standing game to watch (huge push kicks). But the better fight would have been Grove/Reljic. Who’s arguing that?

Hold on
Not true. Zuffa easily could’ve moved him off the prelims. THEY choose the best possible fights to show on SPIKE to try and get you to buy the PPV. I’m sure Zuffa was upset that he spoke out against the company. It’s a possiblility SPIKE had a hand in it too.

Well, if there is truth to what Kendall is saying, Zuffa didn’t have anything to do with this.

Not only because Spike may have some weird Showtime like control over Fight Nights (which could explain the many all the Nate Diaz headliners), but because that Grove/Relijic fight looked awesome.

I wish I could lobby for the best NFL games too, I really want to see the best teams. The issue here is that I don’t want to the the most flamboyant teams I want to see the best match ups. As long as it’s about the sport then lobby away but if it’s about putting Junie Browning’s little brother into the sport just for reality show ratings then that is going to make me a bit of a sad panda.

Exactly. It’s really simple.

kendall better hope he wins his fight
could easily see them cutting him loose after something like this.
Other than Ed Herman (who probably should be cut) and Alan Belcher
None of his victories in the UFC are against fighters currently still employed with the UFC (Rosholt, Tanner, Day).
Even if Evan Tanner was still alive he would have to be retired by now.

Spike is going to have an influence on what goes on their network, that’s why so many TUF alumni fight on the fight night cards and televised undercard bouts. The only thing that I see here as interesting is the extend of the control Grove says Spike has over things. I mean did anyone ever doubt that Spike is responsible for what goes on in the TUF house and how that is portrayed during the program? That was a given I just don’t care for them having a say into who gets picked for the show because that is supposed to be a “sports” decision. I guess that makes for a positive for guys having to fight their way onto the show, at least that way you know the guy has at least a bit of talent to start with. I know the reality show part of TUF was all Spike I just don’t like to think that the MMA part of the show isn’t all UFC.
As for Kendall Grove he hasn’t really set the world on fire in his UFC career, Spike may be the reason his ass wasn’t cut back in 2008. He really is biting the hand that feeds him here because without TUF and Spike wanting to keep TUF winners around for fight night shows you have to wonder if he’d still have a contract.
It may not have been the smartest move for his career
But I sure as hell respect him for speaking his mind.

If they give Da Spyda da boot, I’d love to see him in the Strikeforce Middleweight tournament. He must apologize to Uncle Dana ASAP.
He would not have a small chance of winning

Who cares? He’s a good option if they decide not to include Nick Diaz, and would match up nicely with Mayhem, Kennedy, or Lawler (IMO, anyway).
Oops. I meant to say he would have a small chance of winning
He’s just always going to be stuck in neutral.
Grove would fare better in Bellator than Strikeforce.

Welp, that's business for ya.

ugh. Losing respect for Grove after reading this. I hate that he’s criticizing the network for something thats made him successful. What a douchey thing to do. Im not sure Kendall is good enough to have made it to the UFC WITHOUT TUF. If it was that shitty and awful he should have left the show and came up through small fight organizations like lots of other fighters.

They didn't put him on the show because they said "oh hey this seems like a nice kid let's further his career"
they put him on the show like he said, he had a good enough personality, he’ll give them interesting T.V. and ratings which is what they care about. If they cared about giving guys careers fighters like Jon Fitch and Tyrone Woodley would have made it.
Fake Emcees, we always act hard, but won't walk the streets without our bodyguards.
I didn’t say they cared about career fighters I said they cared about Kendall Grove’s career. Grove won the reality show so of course Spike cares about his career in MMA now.
Fitch got a fight in the UFC immediately anyway so it worked out just fine for him, he got a UFC contract and didn’t have to go through the house crap. Tryron Woodley hadn’t fought professionally yet when he tried out for TUF so it’s hard to call him a “career fighter” at that point as he wasn’t even a professional fighter at that time.
Do me a favor chief
when I set you straight, you stay straight dammit! Enough of this backtalking shit, now I told you that you’re wrong so you better bend over and accept it. I came on here to lay down the law, not to put up with your case of sassy mouth.
Anyway I think he meant in general that the executives don’t really care if any of these guys go on to prosper, I mean why would they? It’s not like the executives are having regular interactions with these guys, do they care about other TUF guys like Junie or Warmachine? The executives are just looking for ratings, and I’m sure that as soon as these guys are out of the house they couldn’t give more than a shit about them unless they happen to be featured on another Spike event.
This is all the same stuff everybody’s been saying, but people act all outraged about it now cause Kendal Grove said it and everybody happens to think he’s a giant monkey scrotum.
Fake Emcees, we always act hard, but won't walk the streets without our bodyguards.
For a second there I thought you called me Chef
This is all the same stuff everybody’s been saying, but people act all outraged about it now cause Kendal Grove said it and everybody happens to think he’s a giant monkey scrotum.
People are outraged about it now? It seems like the general consensus here is that Kendall is stupid for saying it not that it’s bad that this happens. Heck I seem to be one of the few who actually was somewhat bothered by the thought of the same people who decide which two historical figures will fight to the death in computer simulations is also influencing the TUF picks (like it’s hard to find young guys who will do stupid things when bored).
As far as Grove goes at this point the only people who do care about his career are his family and SpikeTV and he just took a dump on Spike. Who cares what he actually meant when I can pull one sentence out of it and make a funny comment?
First off, I don't see how this picture from an Asian gay pride parade is relevant
Secondly you’ve got some nerve boy, some serious nerve. But I’m gonna go ahead and spare your life this time, you can thank me now but just don’t let this shit happen again ya dig?
Saying people are outraged may be an over statement, but you do have people like ProfessorBLove saying he’s “losing respect” for the guy. I just don’t jive with the theory that the network actually cares about him, they aren’t going to lobby for him if Dana ever wants to cut him. I just think they look at all of these guys as completely interchangeable and if it isn’t Kendal, then it’s someone else they can get to be entertaining and pull in raitings.
And if his family really cared for him they wouldn’t have let him get any of those hideous tattoos.
Fake Emcees, we always act hard, but won't walk the streets without our bodyguards.
How about something really irrelevant then?
I just think they look at all of these guys as completely interchangeable
Oh I think that Spike rather have Nate Diaz or Amir Sadollah out there instead of Kendall Grove, heck at this point they may prefer Gray Maynard to Grove. Some guys are just worth more ratings than other guys. As far as Dana wanting to cut him would Grove still be around after Jorge Rivera destroyed him if he wasn’t a TUF champion? Same goes for Mac Danzig, if he wasn’t a TUF champion would he still be in the UFC? Of course I wonder if Spike occasionally sends Mac Danzig free steak dinners after some of his performances?
I think guys being kept on after TUF has more to do with the UFC deciding to keep them on rather than the network. If it was the network keeping them on those executives probably would’ve got down on their knees and swallowed Dana’s baby cocktail just to keep Kimbo Slice hobbling around the octagon for a few more times.
Look I’m just really exhausted here with you, I tried reasoning with you and I tried threatening you and neither worked. If I can’t convince you of my impervious logic then why should I continue to waist my time. Just know that one day, it could be today or it could be tomorrow, but one day you’ll be wondering along minding your own business when out of nowhere WHAM…your getting dick-slapped big time bro!

I think he may of just made Grove vs Reljic into one of them. The fights against Rosholt and Tanner definitely were.

But what made it memorable was the judge who gave Tanner a 29-28 win when the other two had it 30-26.

Maybe I'm the only Kendall Grove fan here but.....
does anyone else find it ironic that he is getting booted off the televised portion of a card in which one of the headlining fighters did essentially the same thing after his last fight? Shouldn’t Lesner/Carwin be on the undercard as well?
Grove pissed all over a show and TV network that got him to the UFC in the first place and it's the only reason he's still here.
Lesnar was a collegiate wrestling stud who made a name for himself in the WWE and is the UFC Heavyweight Champion. When he had the Bud Light issue it was bad but Dana sorted it out. Sponsors sure as hell didn’t get him here.
"It's fourth and fifteen and you're looking at a full-court press." - Lt. Frank Drebin, Police Squad
So is Lesnar not allowed to criticize the WWE? Seems to me a guy who actually had to live through the reality show has the most insight into the experience.
Also, does anyone think he is wrong with what he is saying? Seems like that is what every person who watches the show has been saying since season 3. Even Dana White didn’t like the power Spike has over the show.

![Demian Maia, speaking to MMA Junkie following the TUF 12 Finale, compliments Kendall Grove on his BJJ defense:
"I'm happy because I won, of course," Maia said. "I wanted to submit him in this fight, but Kendall was smart. At one point I was baiting him to go to the side when I was on his back because I wanted to switch to the arm-and-neck submission.
"He didn't go even though his corner was saying, 'Go to the side, go to the side. Escape your hips.' He was not escaping, and I was like, '[Expletive]!' After the fight, he said to me, 'You wanted me escape my hips to that side so you could switch to that submission.'
