These will be the winners.

Grove by decision.
Sadollah by first round submission.
Sanchez by second round TKO.
Fisher by KO in the second.
Rivera by TKO in the first.
Burkman by decision.
Matt Brown by submission in the first.

Those are the only fights I care about.

Kendall Grove is the unanimous pick? Do guys just think Evan Tanner sucks that bad now, or do you think Grove is going to magically stop sucking for some reason?

Anyway, here we go:

Evan Tanner
Amir Sadollah
Diego Sanchez
Jeremy Stephens
Matt Riddle
Josh Burkman
Drew McFedries
Matt Arroyo
Dean Lister
Tim Credeur
Rob Yundt

Hard for me to go against the Spyda while I'm in Hawaii. I'd like to see him win, but this fight is hopefully going to be a good one.

tanner is way too unpredictable to pick. the guy is a recovering alcoholic who has a very sporadic training regime and on top of it is coming off a loss against okami where he look very disappointing. grove still sucks but is much hungrier for a win. at this point it doesnt seem like evan even wants to be a fighter anymore. he'll collect a few more checks then we'll never here from him again.

Another thing to consider with that Grove - Tanner fight: It's been leaked around the internet that the loser will likely be cut from UFC action. Leads me to believe that the younger and more likely hungrier fighter is going to edge it out hoping that he can still use fighting as a means for supporting himself/family. But I agree with Soze, I agree that it could very well be too hard to predict which Evan Tanner is going to show up.

Grove sucked before he started training with Tito and he sucks now that he is no longer training with Tito. Of course, Tanner isn't close to being the same fighter he used to be. I'm not sure either of them should be in the UFC, and I know they shouldn't be the headliner, even a free one.

I agree Leroy, neither of them should be headlining a card. I do think that Grove HAS potential just given his size in that weight class (height is probably a better way of putting it) but I don't think he's doing enough to utilize it. Either way, I'll watch it.

It's been a pretty good night of free fights so far.

Randal Graves · #**470** 06-21-2008, 10:49 PM

Evan Tanner is making Kendall look like Anderson Silva. Fuck!
