Stefan Struve is about to head into his fifth co-main event fight this weekend at the ripe age of 25. Struve is on a four fight winning streak, with all of those wins coming by stoppage, which is impressive in the talent rich heavyweight division. Struve is calling for a title shot should he get past the very dangerous Mark Hunt. Not sure if Struve is ready for the likes of Cain Velasquez just yet in his career. Struve has some obvious gifts that can’t be taught, mainly being seven feet tall and having unbelievable reach, but his wrestling needs substantial work. Struve has only stuffed one take down in his UFC career, and in this sport wrestling wins championships. If Skycraper can round out his game and prove his wrestling against some top ten heavyweights then he could be be ready for a shot at the belt, but for now the UFC should continue to bring the young Dutch fighter along slowly.

Stefan Struve was more than a 2-to-1 odds-on favorite to beat veteran Mark Hunt (pictured) on Saturday night. A win would have propelled “Skyscraper” into the upper echelon of the UFC heavyweight division.
For some peculiar reason, Struve didn’t want to use his significant reach advantage by executing jabs and kicks. Instead, the 25-year-old decided to block Hunt’s fists...

When a guy is 5’10 and fights a guy who is 7’0, their stare down pic is a must see. Struve better use that distance to keep Hunt away from him, as Hunt could touch you and you could go to sleep.
