I agree with OP. I think Mike was SUPPOSED to be a highlight reel KO for Grove, but that failed (Very fast) So now Struve will get a shot, cause Mike
I-can't-spell-his-name
is not very marketable.
the rumour I here is Mike C. against Mirko. I think after Struve's first fight, although Dos Santos is a top 10 heavy, they will need to build him up more He's only 21. If they give him a super tough opponent and he loses, they then cut a young fighter who can go on and become elite and it can come back to hurt them.
Well I was all on Struves nuts coming in to that fight. Shoot I was all hyping him up to my fantasy team and over at weekly then he went out like he did it sucked. I think I under estimated Santos but like you say Struve is only 21 kids got tons of potential and time to get well rounded and be a dominant HW.
Got this from weekly in the Rumor section
Wanderlei Silva (#9 Light Heavyweight in the World)* vs. Rich Franklin
-Mike Swick (#10 Welterweight in the World)* vs. Ben Saunders
-Spencer Fisher vs. Caol Uno
-Mustapha Al-Turk vs. Todd Duffee
-Alan Belcher vs. Alessio Sakara
-Paul Taylor vs. Peter Sobotta
-Stefan Struve vs. Denis Stojnic
So Struve v. Stojnic should be a win for Struve looks like they will start to hype him now.
