Mark Munoz v. Kendall Grove Rumored For UFC 112
Middleweight Kendall Grove’s (11-6 MMA, 6-3 UFC) mystery opponent at the as-yet-unannounced UFC 112 event could be “The Filipino Wrecking Machine.”
Multiple sources MMAjunkie.com spoke to on Wednesday said Mark Munoz (7-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) is under intense consideration to face Grove at the event, expected for April 10 in Abu Dhabi at a stadium to be constructed.
It is unknown whether bout agreements have been distributed, but at least one fighter has verbally agreed to the contest.
Grove’s chin is going to be a problem dealing with the powerful ground attack of Mark Munoz. His long limbs have aided in his submission game quite nicely but trying to lock one up on the former Div-1 wrestling champion while he has punches thrown at him is going to be a very tall order.
Standing-up will be an interesting aspect of the fight to watch given that Grove may have the better game but Munoz has far more power in his fists.
Expect the early betting lines to open up favoring Munoz at something like -180.
