Looked Pretty Good..for a round and half :(

I had a feeling today the moment I put on my Kendall “da spyder” Grove shirt that he might be a bit rusty. We haven’t seen him I think about 8mo? But for being out so long, he was doing very well. I was stoked to see his jiu-jitsu improved tremendously. He just needs to find a good team to train with that can teach him how to use his reach advantage. Maybe Mir or I hate to say this but Kongo. I prefer Mir of course, that way he can still work on his subs too. But he will never grow as a fighter until he learns this necessity in his career life. He has all the potential in the world to dominate and be a successful fighter in the UFC, he just needs the training. Hopefully him and his family will make the move to the Continental US and find a good camp..cheers to Munoz too.
