Prediction: wrong Miocic wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 2

Tough fight to call. Struve has a more complete skill set over all, but he's just not very athletic, and his chin doesn't hold up against fighters with big power.

Stipe is very athletic, a solid wrestler, and he hits good and hard. I think he may have trouble dealing with Struve's height and length at first, but as long as he can avoid getting baited into a grappling match, he'll probably catch Struve at some point and put him away.

I think Struve is going to struggle against anyone with heavy hands that can also grapple

Prediction: correct Struve wrong Submission correct Round 2

People on Twitter seem mad that this fight is the main event. Granted they aren't big stars, but they're both exciting heavyweight prospects/contenders and I think it will be a fun fight to watch. This is just the UFC showcasing 2 up and coming guys on a card that, being on FUEL, honestly isn't going to get a ton of views anyway.

Prediction: correct Struve correct KO/TKO correct Round 2

I think it's an appropriate main event for Fuel. But where I can understand people would be pissed is if the UFC comes to your town for the first time and they bring a "small" card like this and yet expect 10,000 people to show up and pay top dollar.

I'd be curious to hear from anyone who lives in or near Nottingham how they feel about it.

Yeah I can understand the live crowd being a little disappointed, and it depends on ticket prices I guess, but I'd happily throw down cash to see Struve vs Miocic in my hometown. We'll see what the rest of the card looks like, but it comes off kinda spoiled that fans everywhere would love to have a UFC event in their town, and when one comes they ***** about the main event.

Honestly if this was the main event in my hometown I would just be happy with the fact that it was in my hometown and go and enjoy it regardless

We've been spoiled in Denver the last few times the UFC has been here with main events, but if they brought a F/X or Fuel card here with this main event I'd be extremely happy!

odd main event choice for England of all places, but eh. Maybe they should've delayed their return to England until Bisping came back healthy.

Yeah, my main event tonight is Karo Parisyan vs John Gunderson, and I paid $30! Just happy to watch fights, and if they're guys I've seen on TV, all the better.

Poir, I am interested to see how Dillingham does tonight.

DakeJ, plus the other 13 fights on that card are pretty stacked.

Yeah, I downplayed it, but I'm honestly pretty psyched about tonight. Probably the biggest MMA card ever in Springfield, MO.
