Can Mark Hunt even reach Struve's head?

[edman5555]

yeah struve will have a serious reach advantage and he seems to be getting bigger and better.

Struve should pull guard like he did against Dwayne Johnson.

UFC on FUEL 8: Yushin Okami vs. Hector Lombard added to Japan card

..

Interesting.

Either Dana is still trying to make Silva vs Lombard on he's trying to force Lombard to 170 with another loss........I have no idea which.

[edman5555]

I think lombard can give okami trouble. He has way more power standing and he is hard to take down.

I'm pretty sure Dana wants Lombard to fight Silva. Silva has almost no interesting opponent's right now. There's Weidman and . . . who else? Especially since Belcher lost to Okami, Lombard is really the only other interesting contender at this point.

Could be . I doubt Silva ever faces Weidman...he knows he'll lose. I'd bet Silva fights Bisping, Lombard, then takes 10 million to fight Jones or GSP and calls it a career.

This is actually a reasonable point. That would be funny if he needed a stool. I think he will be about a foot shorter.

Dana claims silva asked for a ten fight contract. Didnt sound like bullshit. He is 36, 3 fits a year and retire. You gotta remember he is making more money now than ever before. Burger king endorsements, plus mma is BLOWING up in brazil. When they put the ufc on free brazilian tv 65 million people tuned in to see anderson. He is a fucking massive celebrity now. Hes lie michael jordan down there, or at least he will be.

[edman5555]

Also, i dont think he is afraid of weidman. I dont see why everyone thinks Anderson is afraid. Bisping is a bigger name so more money for silva. I guess i could see weidman subbing him..either that or hes gotta take him down for 25 minutes.

[edman5555]

I kinda like wandy but stanns power is a wild card.

[edman5555]

I'll take Hunt at + odds. Struve could sub him obviously, but Hunt is going to KO him.

Struves standup is getting a lot better. His technique is improving along with his size. I think ne of his problems before was he was so skinny he couldnt put power behind his punches. He was only 240 when he came in the ufc. At 6'11. Hell eventually be cutting to 265. Hes pushing 255 or so now. Only 15 pounds i guess but its all muscle. Sould be really interesting when he is something like 275 or 280 and cutting. If he can get there. It would cool to roid him up like ubereem.

Barry hit Struve several times for what it's worth.
