Struve has nothing for Arlovski

[Ghost in the Dark]

Struve has been (T)KOed by

Volkov
Reem
Hunt
Browne
Nelson
JDS

and most of them were spectacular and brutal.

The Stipe fight was a complete anomaly. Outside of that he has no top 10 wins in his career. Anyone with decent striking and power smashes him. Arlovski is past prime, has a questionable chin this is true but he is still a faster HW with crisp hands, great accuracy, creative with his angles and has big power. He is a good all rounder which people tend to forget, surpisingly strong in the clinch and comfortable on the ground.

I really don't see Struve being able to impose his ground game on Arlovski whatsoever and he has the striking of a stiltwalker on LSD against anyone decent. If he does well Arlovski will stay cautious and just outpoint him for an easy 30-27. If he does like I expect him to do he's getting knocked out again.

I agree, and it look like the betting public does too. Arlovski could be had at +200 on Bovada not long ago, now he's down to +150. I caught him in a couple parlays back when he was +200, war Pitbull!

I would bet on Arlovski too at this point, but i wouldn’t count Struve out either. It wouldn’t be a huge upset if Struve pulls it off.

Struve always shits the bed when you get in his face and crack him.

Hopefully Arlovski isn't hesitant like in the Mir fight.

all Struve has to do is land clean

 

[Thad Castle v2]

Struve is gonna rock him, blame AA's glass chin

To give my opinion. Ya cunt.

He was trying to go invisible by not moving. It seemed to have worked for a little bit.

Catching a clean left hand from Mir ain't much fun.

I guess I would take struve TKO. if arvloski closed at 2-1 I think that might be a good play

Wow, you guys with the videos really have taken forums to a new, higher level. It adds entertainment and it emphasizes your points beautifully. Thanks for brightening up boring old comment forums.

I'm hoping Struve can win this, I always root for the Europeans. I can see him pulling off the submission.
(and yes, I know it's him that gets knocked out in my profile pic, but that's just a really nice pic and who doesn't like Mark Hunt)

struve has the lowest fight IQ of anyone in the UFC. ridiculous reach advantage and doesn't use it whatsoever, and a good ground game but rarely takes it there.

probably will get KOed again, but with AA's chin (and age) i wouldn't be brave enough to put money on this one.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

All Struve has to do is tag Arlovskis glass chin.
