Recap & Thoughts
Tim Boetsch vs. Kendall Grove: Boetsch was a beast when he tore through the Northeast ranks as a light-heavyweight, and though he met with mixed success when he transitioned to life in the Octagon, it was hard not to see the potential that was there. With killer upper-body throws and monstrous raw strength, he could toss folks like they were children at the pool. The only stumbling block was his size. Well, that stumbling block is gone now that Boetsch has moved down to middleweight, as evidenced by his performance against TUF 3 winner Kendall Grove. In his debut at 185 pounds, "The Barbarian" was simply too much, launching Grove to the mat just about whenever he put his hands on him. On the ground Boetsch provided nonstop brutality, and after three rounds of this, it was a no-brainer that the newly-minted middleweight had taken the unanimous decision.Demetrious Johnson vs. Miguel Torres:
