SIR

Stefan Struve faces Tai Tuivasa at UFC 254

Stefan Struve will take on the Australian Tai Tuivasa on October 24, during UFC 254, the organization reports via Social Media. “The Skyscraper” returns to the octagon after almost a year.

This marks the second fight in Struve’s new six-fight deal, which he signed in 2019. He lost the first fight of that deal via a TKO from Ben Rothwell, after Rothwell hit him twice in the crotch. Struve chose, on the recommendation of the referee, to continue, which ultimately cost him too much.

Tai Tuivasi finally hopes to win again. By winning his first three fights, “Bam Bam” had a rock-solid start to his UFC career. He managed to win two of these via a finish, one of which ended in an unanimous decision. But since then, his career, within the octagon, has come to a head. He lost his last three fights and his last win dates back to 2018. Now he can make his appearance in the octagon again after more than a year. Tuivasa saw his fight with Jarjis Danho canceled in June.
 
Hopefully it ends by KO or sub in the first 2 minutes, or it will be a big sloppy mess.
 
Struve is so good on the mat and Tuivasa sucks there. Is there any reason why Struve wouldn't just do the same thing that Spivak did?
Other than the fact that he is Stefan Struve and he does dumb shit sometimes.

He doesn't have the wrestling that Spivak has. They're setting this up to give Tai a win imo.
 
Love it! This is gonna look amazing, proper throwback type freakshow looking shit! Tuivasa didn't get cut then after all, but this is definitely a loser leaves town fight. Struve taps him, 2nd round.

Yeah, he later clarified he was taking the piss when he said he got cut. I thought it was a weird cut at the time as he has name value and they don't exactly have an over abundance of HW's who should get his spot.
 
i like it, tai fighting is always entertaining
 
lol For a bit, I thought they were referring to Teila Tuli! That could have been awesome!
 
Can’t hate on this fight. Someone is going to sleep for sure.
