If Struve does get KTFO'd he'll be dead before he's 40.

Still, wanting Stipe to win here (despite an outside bet on the skyscraper)

This is what happens when you change your pick last minute...haha. Had Struve then changed to Stipe. Great back and forth fight.

Anybody else want to see Struve vs the LHW champ. I think it's such a great test.

Hahhahahaah...it's so true. I think he's tightening his game a bit though. I like Struve...dude is only 24 and he's been in some serious wars already.

great fight, these guys have serious chins.. i couldnt tell if stipe was gassing or if struves shots were wearing on him.. even bigger fan of both now!

either way stipe has great technique and a solid chin, if he can get some better cardio he will go far

btw i knew struve would take this he is improving so much and is such a likeable guy

...Nice finish for Struve. He continues to impress. His willingness to engage. His solid chin. Miocic & Struve had nice trades throughout the fight. Steph's straight right with those sick uppercuts was nasssssty! Struve is closing in on a contender spot real soon. He's 24 and improving with each fight. He'll be ready for a top 5 dog soon...

I think it's time for Struve to fight a top HW. His fights are always fun to watch; his last 8 fights have ended within round one or two. Struve/Mir would be an interesting fight considering they both usually put on good fights and both have had their fair share of being on the receiving end of brutal KO's.

He has seen the third only one man, so the fact that his last eight have ended in the first two isn't new. He's only had one decision and that is the only time he's been in the third. Strive has no real business with a top five guy or even really a top ten guy.

Nog, mir, reem, Cain, nelson, carwin, Cormier all destroy him. Give him someone like Kongo or Mitrione hell maybe pat Barry. He needs to show he can not get ktfo with some consistency. And he needs to not get ktfod by guys he can't easily sub. Lavar Johnson would have finished him brutally had he not had a shit ground game.

If it werent for the compition Id have wanted Stipe to win. Struve isnt ready. He had a LONG way to go and through shit fights he'll learn. He has to completley establish his jab which will be MASSIVE for his style. His submissions mixed with his jabbing style would be a killer combination which could win him the title to me.

Struve called out werdum as the post fight presser. Apparently he is looking to get murdered again. Werdum is better in literally every single area.

I dunno what it is about Stefan Struve but he never impresses me with his wins. He's 7 ft tall, almost always looks like he might lose the fight...I mean the guy probably has the longest reach in the UFC, coupled with him being the tallest in the UFC, a nasty ground game that makes people think twice about taking him down...seriously, learn to ******* box or wrestle or something, use your body to your advantage. The guy could be champ for christ sake.
