Who here is picking TJ Grant over Maynard, and why?

[MaTaLa]

I got a hundred vcash on TJ. Last few times I've watched him I've been impressed.
I think TJ may be the more refined grinder w/ a sharper mental game. And I think ring rust might be a factor.

 

[Hard Charger]

I like Grant. Maynard is overrated

 

[JackWhite]

I'm picking Grant by decision. Why? Because he is hungry. Not counting the Bully out, but I'm thinking Grant will shine tomorrow night.

 

[EffinCraig]

TJ's pressure style of stand up won't let Gray settle in and if he gets taken down he's got a fantastic butterfly guard he uses to get back to his feet effectively (Hendricks fight), add in Gray's ring rust and I think TJ wins this one.

Sue me.

I'm picking Grant for similar reasons, coupled with a heavy dose of personal bias.

Picking Grant in an upset. Big on Maynard but Grant's bigger frame, high level BJJ, solid striking, and good enough wrestling make me think he'll win a decision.

 

[Troublesome10]

TJ has more diverse striking and I think he wins on the feet as long as his defense is good; Gray has the bigger punch but he's a bit predictable. Wrestling goes to Maynard, but he's a LnP kind of wrestler and I think TJ's excellent BJJ negates that.
I see TJ winning by UD or SD in a very close fight. Could see it going either way though, and I don't think it's unjustifiable that Gray is the fav.

 

[BIKES!]

I see TJ beating Maynard handidly.

 

[bicpup269]

My friend and I usually bet change on the fights and he bet 75 cents of Maynard, which is a pretty serious bet in our games.

edit: So I'm rooting for Grant.

 

[kjg1672]

I've got 800 bucks ON TEE JAY GRANT.

best dog of the card. bigger then maynard, better striker, better clinch, only disadvantage is wrestling.

Bigger than Maynard? What does Grant walk around at? 200?

 

[ShreddinMMA]

I wouldn't sleep on Grant.

His KO over Wiman is a pretty big statement. He's also crafty off his back.

 

[Blunt Trauma]

Grant will make Maynard look pedestrian.

Watch for the elbows

 

[theskza]

This is probably the most interesting matchup at LW there has been in quite some time. It will tell a ton about both fighters.

 

[Skydome]

Don't sleep on TJ...but gray is a beast. this is the best matchup on the card imo, i could see either guy winning

 

[EffinCraig]

My body is ready. Haven't been this stoked for a card in ages.

 

[willthechill]

I actually picked Grant as soon as the bout was announced and I never thought twice.

 

[Sosua]

I like TJ and think he problem beats Gray, seeing as I put my last Vcash on Gray lol.

Seriously, I think Gray wins, but it's going to be really good.

 

[Mad Ruthless]

I'm taking TJ

My reasons are mine, sucka!

 

[nemosson]

TJ wins, Maynard gets discouraged and loses a decision or gets finished in 3rd!

 

[jordanpink19]

yes that's it. He's clearly a better boxer, has bigger punching power and stronger right? He also has way more experience against top level fighters huh?

Gettin a little heated now eh

 

[wickedelbow]

tj grant.
