    I think Big Johnson kods him anyway, shame though as Mark had some momentum going and Struve was a good opponent with a decent ground game to test him if it got to the mat

    That sucks.

    Hunt had a KO in the bag with this.

    Johnson sucks ass.

    if Struve can get him down, he will beat him with ease.

    He'll probably get ko'ed tho. haha

    Struve still has to employ the same gameplan he would have against Hunt, so it isn't a huge change for him. It's still either get knocked the **** out, or win by submission.

    Johnson has some very serious power.

    I hope Hunt comes back in the same shape he was in before the knee injury.

    Was Hunt/Struve that much better?

    Struve will sub Johnson easily IMO.

    You think? I don't get the whole Struve thing. Personally i think Johnson KO's him.

    Hunt could have won this and put himself in contention. Johnsons a great replacement and he too could **** Struves world up. If Struve is smart, he'll take this to the ground and easily get the submission. Johnson looks like he doesn't know how to pace himself thus gasses and he very nearly got submitted by Pat Barry. His best bet at that rate is K1 3 rounders.

    Struve is an idiot generally and probably stands with him.

    If he goes for a takedown he wins easily though.

    Struve's prob is he doesn't use his reach and range. He stays in the pocket of a his oponents range and exchanges punches. He is still young with some potential but he has to improve his fight IQ. Staying in Lavars range won't be a good idea.
