Prediction: wrong Struve   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Nice! This fight was scheduled a while back but cancelled when Hunt got injured glad they rescheduled it. Hunt has a weakness on the ground and he is prone to submission losses which is where Struve can capitalize, but if Hunt can hit Struve with one of those hard shots he'll be taking a nap for sure.

Prediction: correct Hunt   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Struve's done a great job of avoiding power punches from Barry, Johnson, and Miocic, but Mark Hunt's fist has Stefan's name on it.

I like Hunt like a lot of people but he's 38 with a record of 8-7 and he gives up 10" of reach to Struve. The skysc****r's stand up has been improving as he showed against Stipe. He's not just a submission guy anymore. Struve will take this via however he wants to.

Gonna have to go with Stuve here. Hunt is a helluva guy, and that KO of Kongo was incredible, but I think the train stops here. Struve is too well-rounded, and as we've seen before, he will take the fight to where he thinks he has the best chance to win...which means the ground in this scenario.

Hunt has an underrated ground game and an excellent striking game (no ******* ****). I honestly think he could and will defeat "The Huge Dude" Stefan Struve.

He does have an underrated ground game. Just ask Fedor. I just think Struve's reach and experience (yes, he's younger, but has twice as many MMA fights as Hunt) will be too much.

Hunt just needs to touch his chin once.  That being said, if struve gets it to the ground it is over.

@amp

I disagree with you hugely about experience. Hunt has more combat sport experience. He has far more kick boxing matches at the highest professional level. That is something that translates over. yes grappling wise he not as experience but in terms of striking and simply fighting he has more experience..  Also in MMA he has fought far better opposition then Struve. Even if you just look at there demeanor in the octogon.  Hunt looks extremely confident and relaxed. Struve not so much. He just not as confident. In striking he way behind Hunt. Hunt gunna eat him alive in the striking. Struve has bad striking defense and no head movement.

Struve's learned his lesson. He's at the top of his game and his going to dominate Hunt's tomato can in every aspect of the fight. I believe he earns a title shot after this.

As much as I want Hunt to win, I can see Struve submitting him fairly easily if the fight hits the ground.

Struve via armbar/kimura RD 2..
