Stefan Struve’s broken jaw
UFC heavyweight Stefan Struve looked like he would pick up the decision win last weekend in the co-main event of UFC on FUEL TV 8 against opponent Mark Hunt.
That is until the ‘Super Samoan’ loaded up with a two punch combo which sent the ‘Skyscraper’ to the mat with a broken jaw. Referee Herb Dean called for Struve to continue fighting but the seven-foot fighter was unable to continue giving the third round TKO victory to Hunt.
Struve was sent to a hospital in Saitama, Japan where he had his jaw wired shut and is expected to have surgery once he returns home to Holland.
The Dutch fighter Tweeted (@StefanStruve) this image of his broken jaw on Sunday.
I expect that Struve will be out for a number of months while this heals.
