Round 1

opponent to the ground. Grove elbows the head and attempts to wall
walk, but Minowa remains on top. Grove looks briefly for an armbar
and then a kimura. Minowa’s defense is true. 10-10.

of Grove, but the former TUF champion refuses to be taken down.

remaining. Grove locks on a head-and arm choke that Minowa escapes
from. Grove is all over Minowa with punches from the mount and the
Japanese fighters gives up his back to avoid punishment. Grove
rides him from the back with a tight body triangle. Grove works for
a face crank and then a rear-naked choke. Minowa continues to show
excellent defense and is never in immediate danger. Grove lands two
right hands and begins to get more offensive with his hands. Minowa
is going to be difficult to submit and Grove is looking for other
ways to finish. Grove hits the head and holds on with the body
triangle as time expires. 10-9 Grove and 30-28 Grove for the
unofficial Sherdog scorecard.
Official score: 30-27, 30-27, 30-27 for Kendall Grove, the winner by unanimous decision.
