Grifter vs Bane

Since it's unarmed combat only, I would back Bane for the win.

I am going with Grifter he has special forces training and is trained by Zealot how fought Midnighter to a draw if i am not mistaken.

I'm going with Bane on this one.

Zealot did train Grifter and fight Midnighter to a draw (or thereabouts) but she's walking around with around ten thousand years of combat training and experience and no matter how good a teacher she is, she didn't transfer all that knowledge and skill to Grifter in the short time she was training him.

@Buckshot: She probably passed enough on for him to beat bane ... bane is an awesome fighter but he is below top tier ... grifter in theory potentially in top tier ... I would give this to grifter.

I'm going to say Bane, but my knowledge of Grifter's fights is limited to his two encounters with Midnighter, one fight with Zealot in the sewers where he lost, and his fight with one of the Kindred whose name escapes me.

EDIT: I checked. It was Paris.

I'm going with Bane on this because this is unarmed combat and I don't know that much for Grifter.

Bane is able to consistently give Bruce Wayne the fight of his life, even off Venom. He's about as close as anyone could possibly get to being Batman's equal. 
Grifter is really better than that?  Mind you, I'm not trying to tear down your argument or anything. I'm just trying to learn more about Grifter. I have basic knowledge on him, but I was never under the impression that he is above the level of Batman's-near-equal in terms of hand to hand combat.

Grifter gave Zealot a good fight in just h2h.

In WildC.A.T.S #23? Wasn't Zealot making out with Cole half the time during that fight? Didn't seem like she was taking it all that seriously.

Grifter kills bane he has tp plus his fighting skills are better,all he has to do is use his weaponry and tp to confuse bane then knock him out
