Stefan Struve's return and his odds

[Nieliz74]

WIth UFC 175, Stefan Struve is making his return after a 16 month layoff and some serious health issues, he says he's back to a 100% and is super motivated, what are his
odds against heavy handed Matt Mitrione?

60/40 I'd say if he really is 100%.

Struve submission after taking a bit of a beating would be my prediction.

Beat me to it. Wouldn't be surprised if Mitrione KO'd him standing either though.

Agreed, Mitrione is at least a dodgy match up for Struve if not a bad one.

Struve will pull guard and submit Mitrione like he did against Lavar. If Schaub subbed Mitrione easily but couldn't do much for three rounds on top of Johnson, I think Struve can also do it.

I'd have my money on Struve for sure if he's 100%.

 

[CamBrady]

Struve will be a HW champ one day...just not any time soon. He's young, tall and keeps improving every year.

Yep. As much as I like Mitrione, this is how I see it.

Would be happy and sad either way the fight goes, though.

He smashes Mitrione if he's back to form.

 

[gocubsgo]

He'll take some shots but i see him going for a sub too.

 

[Priceinator]

Wait wait...Struve is 100%?

Didn't he have some kind of heart/brain problem? Dude's been knocked out viciously quite a few times in his short UFC career.

I fear for this health...

X3

Tough fight for Matt.

 

[Chapter40z]

struve gets beat up some and then finishes him(probably sub, matt seems to have a decent enough chin)...thats pretty much his MO when he doesn't get KTFO

13 fights in the UFC isnt really a short carreer if they still want him back for another fight, dude has only gone the distance once..He's a
very entertaining fighter to watch , hopefully he has learned to not stand and trade..

Agreed.
