Stefan Struve and Stipe Miocic are quickly rising toward the top of the heavyweight division. Still, only one can take a step closer to competing against the division’s contenders when they meet in the UFC on Fuel TV 5 main event on Saturday.
Since a knockout loss to Travis Browne, Struve has won three straight fights, showcasing a dangerous guard in the process. For that reason, Miocic may try to use his wrestling in reverse to keep this fight standing and look for the knockout.
In addition to the heavyweight main event, Saturday’s fight card in Nottingham, England will also feature a number of British fighters hoping to please the home crowd.
Against Amir Sadollah, Dan Hardy will try to continue his resurrection from near-release. Brad Pickett will look to return to the bantamweight title picture with a win over Yves Jabouin. Additionally, Paul Sass tries to remain undefeated and take a step closer to becoming a lightweight contender against Matt Wiman.
Before UFC on Fuel TV 5, which will take place at the Capital FM Arena, the fighters will hit the scales on Friday at 11 a.m. ET. Video of the weigh-ins will be streamed live on the above video player.
