Part 1 / Part 2 What do you like to do outside of fighting? What do you spend time on? I like to come back to Hawaii most of the time whenever I'm not doing anything and visit my family and just hang out. Go surf, go to my grandpa's house in the mountains and just chill and hang out. Go to the beach a lot and pretty much not think about fighting. That's your vacation, and when you're on vacation you don't want to think about work. So, I pretty much did that this whole time that I was at home since my flight, and now I'm going back to Vegas to start training and get ready for the next fight. That's a great segway because I don't see your name on the fight card for Ultimate Fight Night 7 or the next UFC 66? When can your fans expect to see Kendall back in the ring? You guys can expect me to be back in there, hopefully, no later than April. What a lot of people don't know is I hurt my hand in my last fight, so I just got my cast off and now I'm back to normal. Did you break a bone? Nah, I just fractured a finger...my index knuckle. All the ladies out there are hollering for the Spyder? Do you have a girlfriend right now? Are you wrapped up? [chuckles] Yeah...well, technically yeah. [laughs] Yeah, I have a girlfriend. The politically correct answer, right? Yeah. [laughs] Over the last few years, you've trained pretty hard. You've been training with Team Punishment up there in Big Bear and improving your Jujitsu and your stand-up. What is it that you're focusing on developing and improving right now and what do you think it's going to take to reach that next stage in your career when you can become even more competitive and an even bigger threat to your competitors? I think I just got to keep on working on what I'm working on now. A lot of my wrestling, cardio...my cardio is number one. My striking, and just everything, you know what I mean. To me, the way Kendall Grove gets better, is just kill yourself. That's how I get better when I put in my time. That's why last year at this time I had my last fight in Hawaii and that was in Rumble in the Rock and it paid like $500 per show, and Joe Stevenson was my roommate, and he was currently on season 2, and after the show, he told me next season is 185, I can try to get you on. So I've just seen the way his life turned out after the first couple of episodes, so I just told myself, wow, he's doing what I want to do. He's being a professional fighter and this is all I've been dreaming about for the last four years, so here it is. So, I just told him, yeah, give me a shot. And he was like, "Alright man, you've got to work hard." Ever since that day, everything I do, I do until I can't do it anymore. And you ask any of my training partners and they'll verify that. I just like to push myself because I feel that if you work hard you deserve what you get, and that's the victory, you're hands being raised. I like that more than the money. That's just the way I am. I was born a fighter and I'll die a fighter. There are a lot of talented fighters in your weight class. Who do you want next? Right now, I'm fighting Rory Singer from the show. My last fight, when I fought Chris Price, he fought Josh Haynes and put a hurting on him, but he was talking some smack about the Spyder, so I told him, "Hey, where I come from, let's do it, let's settle it right now. All that stuff we had on the show, let's put it to rest, because we're acting like little kids right now." So, he accepted, so my next one is him. And, hopefully, after that, you'll see me test my skills. You trained with Tito Ortiz on The Ultimate Fighter, and you've been training with him up at his Big Bear training center. How has his influence helped you evolve as a fighter over the last couple of years? 100 percent. I couldn't have asked for a better coach. Honestly, before I went on the show, I felt the same way everybody else felt about Tito. Oh, this guy's a cocky punk that cares about himself, you know what I mean? That's the image, he's a punk. But on the show, he kind of let go of his guard, and he showed us the real Tito Ortiz. Ever since the first day of the show until after the show, all he does is care about me learning the stuff that I'm learning right now and to me, that shows me he's a great guy and he cares about his friends. Working with him has changed my whole game in this sport. I appreciate you spending time with us. Continued good luck to you, we wish you nothing but the best. Thank you.
