I’ve spent some time talking on this site about Stipe Miočić, a local UFC fighter. He most recently defeated Shane Del Rosario at UFC 146 to set up a high profile contender matchup with Stefan Struve. It is the main event for UFC on Fuel TV 5 coming up September 29th.
Struve is a huge fighter billed as being “nearly seven feet tall.” It won’t be an easy test for Miočić, who is still undefeated in his UFC career. You will remember that Miočić is a former wrestler and baseball player at Cleveland State. Should he beat Struve there’s no telling exactly where it puts him in line for a title shot, but it certainly will put him in the conversation pretty quickly.
