Aggression Fighting Championship (AFC) has signed UFC veteran and The Ultimate Fighter winner Kendall Grove to a multi-fight contract. “Da Spyder” won’t be wasting any time making his AFC debut either as he’ll be co-headlining the AFC 14 card on November 3rd in Victoria, BC.
At last night’s ProElite: Grove vs. Minowaman from the Neil S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Hawaii Main event fighter Kendall Grove looked at home.

ProElite got their first event back since the EliteXC days in the books Saturday night from the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii. While a bit shaking at time and some questionable choices (Jens Pulver’s shirt), the ProElite: Arlovski vs. Lopez card was entertaining and exciting.
After a long hiatus from the world of Mixed Martial Arts promoting, ProElite returns this Saturday holding their first event to be held under its umbrella since EliteXC: A Night of Champions in November of 2008. Founded in 2006, Pro Elite promoted live MMA events broadcast on CBS, Showtime and Showtime PPV under the EliteXC promotional banner. ProElite v2.0 though currently doesn’t have a broadcast deal and Saturday’s event will not be televised or streamed online.

In the ever-growing elite level of Mixed Martial Arts fighters in the UFC, every event will potentially eliminate one or more fighters off the roster. UFC 130 this weekend is no different even with its popular lineup of well-known fighters some may be in the fight unemployment line come Monday morning. Here is the list of our opinion on who may be in the hot seat.
On Saturday, May 28th, the UFC returns to its home in Las Vegas, Nevada for UFC 130: Rampage vs. Hamill from inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
