The pride of Maui, Hawaii, Grove burst onto the mixed martial arts scene by winning Season 3 of \u201cThe Ultimate Fighter\u201d in June 2006. Grove\u2019s last three wins in the Octagon\u00ae have come over Evan Tanner, Jason Day and Jake Rosholt and he will look to make a statement on July 3rd against Croatia native Reljic. The hard-striking Reljic made quite an impression in his UFC debut against Wilson Gouveia at UFC 84 in May 2008, winning via TKO and earning a \u201cFight of the Night\u201d bonus. Following a layoff due to back surgery, Reljic engaged in a hard-fought three rounder against C.B Dolloway in his return to the Octagon at UFC 110 this past February.<\/p>\n<p>The second scheduled bout of the evening on Spike TV features a heavyweight clash between \u201cThe Ultimate Fighter 10\u201d finalist Brendan Schaub (6-1) and Chris Tuchscherer (18-2, 1 NC). Fighting out of Aurora, CO, Schaub easily handled Chase Gormley with a TKO victory in a mere 47 seconds this past March. A former Buffalo Bills practice-player, Schaub has honed his craft while training with Shane Carwin. He will look to use his prodigious punching power against former All-American collegiate wrestler, Tuchscherer. The Fargo, North Dakota product currently trains with Brock Lesnar and most recently defeated Tim Hague via decision at UFC 109 in February.<\/p>\n<p>Other bouts on the card might air on Spike TV, to be determined by the length of the fights.<\/p>\n<p>Spike TV is available in 98.6 million homes and is a division of MTV Networks.
