		<description>Honestly, I&#039;m really torn on this one. Tanner two years ago would handily defeat Grove, probably in a unanimous decision...quite possibly a mid to late fight GnP....but now it&#039;s like evaluating a whole new fighter, and based off his performance with Okami (who&#039;s a beast by the way) I don&#039;t know that he can get by grove. It&#039;s a good fight for him, because if he can;t get through Grove then he really shouldn&#039;t be in the UFC right now. I want to see some footage of Tanner&#039;s training, this is one of those fights I might actually pick after seeing the preview show.</description>

		<description>lol, cant even think of one thing to say Patrick? i dont blame you, i pretty much covered it all.. there IS no reasonable argument to suggest Tanner would be successful in the UFC at this point.</description>

		<description>I agree with Kansas on this one, I think Grove is serious about being a fighter and training while Tanner is probably looking for a few paychecks.

A few reasons why i think Tanner is done, besides all the problems outside the cage, lets just talk about his skills as a fighter.

Hes basically a strong wrestler with good GnP and a good clich game.  This is what sustained him as a fighter both at 170 and 185, i always thought he should stay at 170 because simply hes too small for 185.

His skills and tactics worked for a while, but now everyonw has those skills plus more, like a solid standup and BJJ game.

Ill say this about Tanner though, hes a tough dude and hes got a ton of heart.  Unfortunately these days all that will get him is a long beatdown.

The amount of skill being shown in the UFC these days  makes Tanner seem like a dinosaur, its unfortunate, but i dont think he has a realistic chance at making it at any division in the UFC.

I predicts a few consecutive losses for Tanner, first he got Okami whos a beast, now Grove whos clinch game is superior to Tanners.  They should have given him charles Mccarthy or someone like that so he could get a W and get some momentum.

Hes outclassed at 185, hes DEFINATELY outclassed at 170, i cant see any reason to think Tanner can make it in the UFC at this point.</description>
