You gotta be shittin' me.
No - you're not right - because for a "Legends fan/expert" you were completely unaware of the quote in the prequel to Revenge Of The SithLabyrinth Of Evil where Mace Windu tells Obi-Wan that he is the perfect candidate to fight Grievous, because Grievous hasn't fought Obi-Wan before.
AND you didn't know this even after I mentioned it - which makes you an idiot, too.

Mace Windu had told him of facing Grievous in single combat atop a mag-lev train during the general's daring raid to capture Palpatine. Mace had told him how the computers slaved to Grievous's brain had apparently analyzed even Mace's unconventionally lethal Vaapad and had been able to respond in kind after a single exchange.
"He must have been trained by Count Dooku," Mace had said, "so you can expect Makashi as well; given the number of Jedi he has fought and slain, you must expect that he can attack in any style, or all of them. In fact, Obi-Wan, I believe that of all living Jedi, you have the best chance to defeat him."
This pronouncement had startled Obi-Wan, and he had protested. After all, the only form in which he was truly even proficient was Soresu, which was the most common lightsaber form in the Jedi Order. Founded upon the basic deflection principles all Padawans were taught—to enable them to protect themselves from blaster bolts—Soresu was very simple, and so restrained and defense-oriented that it was very nearly downright passive. "But surely, Master Windu," Obi-Wan had said, "you, with the power of Vaapad—or Yoda's mastery of Ataro—" Mace Windu had almost smiled. "I created Vaapad to answer my weakness: it channels my own darkness into a weapon of the light. Master Yoda's Ataro is also an answer to weakness: the limitations of reach and mobility imposed by his stature and his age. But for you? What weakness does Soresu answer?" Blinking, Obi-Wan had been forced to admit he'd never actually thought of it that way. "That is so like you, Master Kenobi," the Korun Master had said, shaking his head. "I am called a great swordsman because I invented a lethal style; but who is greater, the creator of a killing form—or the master of the classic form?" "I'm very flattered that you would consider me a master, but really—" "Not a master. The master," Mace had said. "Be who you are, and Grievous will never defeat you."
- Labyrinth Of Evil
^ This is why Grievous tells Obi-Wan he's trained by Count Dooku in Revenge Of The Sith - it's not a plot-hole, you clueless fvcks.
I'm definitely the Legends Expert here - since all the Down Syndrome retards who binge on "The Clone Wars" and "Rebels" don't even realize their cartoon is Non-Canon.
Even in Revenge Of The Sith Obi-Wan never fought Grievous prior to The Battle Of Utapau.
And Labyrinth Of Evil explains why.

Wait a minute - so that came from the Revenge Of The Sith novel you guys were pouring through and you STILL didn't notice that Obi-Wan had never fought General Grievous before???
You were just saying that the novel proves he had fought him before!

Were you drunk and meant to say Revenge of the Sith instead of Labyrinth of Evil?

Still funny that Darth Thor stated that the Revenge Of The Sith novelization had a scene proving Kenobi had fought Grievous before - and instead it had a scene proving he didn't.

"The Clone Wars" is so obnoxiously-stupid.
