Josh Grispi: 'The WEC likes to just throw me in there with the sharks every time'

Quoteworthy:

"I don't know why the WEC likes to just throw me in there with the sharks every time, but I don't care. I'm used to it. Hopefully I'm the underdog again. This guy has been in there consistently and I've been out for a while so hopefully I'm under the radar and he takes me lightly and I can just catch him off guard. This guy probably wants to keep getting up in the ranks too so hopefully after my next win I could be up there for a title shot. It could change since I've been out, but hopefully I get in line for a title shot. Either way, I'm still going to be around for a while."

Fast-rising featherweight prospect Josh Grispi (13-1) looks to continue his ascension to the top of the 145-pound rankings when he battles fellow up-and-comer L.C. Davis at the WEC 49 event scheduled for June 20 at the Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. "The Fluke" hasn't seen the inside of the cage since making quick work of fading legend Jens Pulver at WEC 41: "Brown vs. Faber 2" last June and can probably blame his nine-fight winning streak and undefeated WEC resume as the reason for getting such stiff competition time and time again. Anyone besides Nostradumbass think this young gun has the tools to make it to the top?

Haven't seen enough to make an informed decision

his fights with Miller and Pulver were to quick for em to get a sense for how he fights, but this match up sounds good…..looking forward to it….

Feeding him to the sharks?!?

What is he on about? Feeding to the sharks would be a match against Aldo. Instead they’re giving him another up and comer and he is bitching. Would he prefer a can instead so the win means nothing?

Anybody remember that old WWE commercial of Brock Lesnar slamming that shark?

This pic reminds me of that.

wrong

It’s not right for Grispi to knock out sharks.

i say if grispi beats his next opponent he should get jose aldo. he would be 14-1.

aldo already has beaten faber, brown and i think garcia with a brutal knee? who else is left. his height might cause a problem for aldo too but aldo’s speed would probably win him the day.

Grispi

Those of us who know Grispi understand why his fights with MIller and Pulver were short. He is an elite fighter with skills that few possess. He has the power and speed to stand with aldo, and the ground game to match. Be a great fight with Aldo, think Josh is too big and too strong. Davis is in for a rude awakening, good fighter but not in Josh’s league.
