As long as Struve has been laid off I think this is a bad first fight back but I'll be pulling for him.

So many things can happen here. I'll be pulling for Struve, but I expect Overeem to beat the hell out of his body and get a TKO eventually.

Apparently they have Overeem standing on a box in the photo the UFC tweeted.

Overeem stopped cutting weight, now he cuts height.

Can I predict this fight never happens? Has injury written all over.

Honestly I hope Struve is healthy and its safe for him to fight. I got Reem winning though.

If Struve can stay healthy I think he could be the nail in Overeem's casket sure, why not?

Overeem by KO. He then loses the next fight after that.

Prediction: wrong Struve wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

I hope Struve spent his time off reflecting on the fights he lost and why. if he fought smart and used his height and reach he could be a major threat in the division. as for Overeem, I continue to have, and have always had, no faith in his chin. I was watching the Jooe Rogan Experience(well, i watch it a lot to be honest) and i think it was Eddie Bravo he was talking with about how these guys come off TRT and Steroids and it seems like not only are there muscles effected but also there chins. Overeem is a perfect example of this and it seems like Bigfoot maybe to. Makes me wonder about vitor belfort. Not Hendo though, even not doing trt that man can cut diamonds with his chin.

I really don't want to get suckered into picking Overeem again but I'll probably end up doing so.

Who wins will be about who hits who's chin first. Neither are known for taking big punches.

at this point in time I have no faith in overoid, so I wouldnt be surprised at all if Struve sleeps him.

Struve definitely has more heart but he gets dropped quite easily. I don't know if comebacks against Morecraft and Buentello are things to be proud of. Struve has 4 losses in the UFC all by T/KO, Overeem has 3 losses in the UFC all by T/KO so what I said isn't unfair. They are both known finishers so that just increases that likelihood even more. But who knows maybe Overeem will be super cautious again.
