Middleweights Kendall Grove (11-6) and Mark Munoz (7-1) are set to do battle at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates on April 10, 2010.
"Da Spyder" today announced the 185-pound showdown via Twitter.com, wishing the former NCAA national wrestling champion from Oklahoma State University a safe training camp and encouraging him to put on a good show.
And that should not be much of a concern for these two talented fighters.
Grove has won three of his last four fights, losing only to Brazilian jiu-jitsu wizard Ricardo Almeida via unanimous decision at UFC 101: "Declaration" in August 2009 during that span. The 6'6" Hawaiian most recently strangled another decorated wrestler, Jake Rosholt, via triangle choke at UFC 106: "Griffin vs. Ortiz" two months ago.
He likely won't have such an easy time against "The Philippine Wrecking Machine."
Munoz has been perfect (2-0) since his 185-pound debut against Nick Catone at UFC 102: "Couture vs. Nogueira" in August 2009. It wasn't a convincing win, however, earning a split decision nod from two of the three judges sitting ringside.
He didn't make the same mistake his next time out, smashing Ryan Jensen via verbal submission (punches) at UFC 108: "Evans vs. Silva" earlier this year. Now Munoz will look to make it two straight against the dangerous and experienced The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 winner.
UFC 112 is expected to feature two world title fights, including middleweight champion Anderson Silva taking on Vitor Belfort and lightweight kingpin BJ Penn putting his belt on the line against Frank Edgar.

I like Munoz in this one.
He hits hard and will be much more powerful then Kendall at 185. I think late first or early second stoppage.

Munoz trains at BlackHouse remember
I like Kendall so I hope he stomps this guy. I haven’t been too impressed with Munoz

I used to like Kendall but not interested lately, he was lucky in his last fight imo.
Tito Ortiz: I think Chuck's lost a step, maybe i've lost a step also, but that's what makes the fight so exciting!

He’s going nowhere, never going to wear a UFC belt.

Hopefully Munoz wins, I've never been a Kendall fan and I can't go against anyone from Black House
Kendall has had problems with superior wrestlers in the past but he has a dangerous guard and Munoz will have to be careful when he takes Kendall down and look to neutralise Kendall’s BJJ quickly. If he gets sloppy in this one then Kendall will win but Munoz has a decent chance at winning this one.
"Wanderlei is focused and well trained...he will easily win this fight, by a large margin and with much better technique."
Anderson Silva on why Wand is going to smash Bisping. Get ready to lose your dignity frosnt.
