Told you to watch out for Grispi!

 

[TheMouth]

Yeah, I've been hearing about him from the Lauzon brothers and Chris Palmquist for the last year/.

Told you to watch out for Grispi!

Like clockwork, I knew that was coming. I hope they show that fight tonight. I've never seen Grispi fight.

I knew a comment about my comment was on its way :whip:

Seriously, there is a ton of talent around here, especially at 145. Grispi is probably the best, though he still needs to avenge a loss to Henrique Bicalho, who should be making his way up soon. Bicalho has sick BJJ, he's strong, and he has lead fists. If it isn't already, Boston will soon be one of the centers of MMA.
