Kendall Grove to take on Demian Maia at UFC TUF 12 Finale

According to MMAWeekly, Kendall Grove, better known as the tall Hawaiian Guy that won TUF 3, will be facing Demian Maia, better known as Anderson Silva's dance partner in Abu Dhabi, at the TUF 12 Finale on December 4th. Grove had a promising start with wins over Ed Herman, Chris Price, and Alan Belcher. However since then he's been hot and cold, going 6-4 over his UFC career. Maia is recently off a win over Mario Miranda at UFC 118 as he attempts to get himself back into title contention.

As most of you know, Grove was in some hot water a month or so ago for speaking out against the UFC and SPIKE and their decisions and procedures during TUF. The UFC responded by cutting his match from the aired prelims on SPIKE (his win ultimately made the PPV broadcast). This seems another in a line of curious moves. I don't know what the UFC is thinking, but it seems like Grove is being set up here. This is a tremendous step up in quality of opponent for Grove. My advice for Kendall is a reunion with the one man who can get him back to the pinnacle of his career. No, not Tito Ortiz. I'm talking about Solomon Hutchinson. in a reincarnation TEAM DAGGER!
