True, but we don't know how strong Grimmjow was the last time we saw him, regarding his limit as an Arrancar. Maybe he was at his full power, maybe 75 %.

But you're right, he survived Nnoitra's sneak attack after getting wounded and defeated by Ichigo. For sure he still sees Ichigo as a rival. So he would definitely do everything in his power to become stronger.
