Guessing they tossed a lot of cash at Grove to take the fight. Pretty sick replacement, winner should def be in the UFC.

He has been active so he should be in shape. As far as preparing for a specific opponent goes, Mamed is in the same situation. I think it would be more or less fair if not for Grove's jetlag.

Wow, that's awesome...
I don't think I've ever even heard of the UFC helping another org find a late replacement. Hopefully that means that they're willing to give Grove a pass for this, because I just don't see him beating Mamed.

on this short of notice, that's about the best they could have done for a replacement fighter.
Khalidov to take it with very little trouble.
