3. Kendall Grove vs. Christian M'Pumbu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKFJRnfaJVk Weight Class: Middleweight Christian M'Pumbu (1861) is a former Bellator light heavyweight champion who was last seen being knocked out cold by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson on route to Jackson's light heavyweight tournament win over "King" Mo Lawal. Always undersized at light heavyweight, and on a three fight win streak, M'Pumbu is wisely dropping to middleweight, where he meets the veteran Kendall Grove. Grove (2014 (1)) is best known as the winner of The Ultimate Fighter Season 3, and as such he's fairly well-known to the Spike TV audience. This is a solid match-up for both fighters: Grove is 1-1 in Bellator and coming off a loss to Brett Cooper. A lot about this fight will depend on how M'Pumbu's drop to middleweight goes, but that said, our gut feeling is that Grove has the better shot. Grove via decision.
