Stipe Miocic vs Stefan Struve

by Dr. Octagon, J.D. 

Croat-American versus a Dutchman here. Stipe MIocic is a great athlete, Stefan Struve is really tall and has a ton of fights (29) given his tender age (24). The announcers just said Struve is still growing and is now listed at 7 feet tall?!?!?! Struve can finish a fight on the feet or with a submission, but doesn’t have the same raw athleticism and strength that some of the other heavyweights have. Live updates after the jump:[[MORE]]
