It's a horrible matchup for Struve if he fight like in his previous fights again but a serious question: can Barry even reach Struves chin? Struve is 6 11 tall Barry is only 5 11 he's a ****in midget in at 265. Struve has 83in reach Barry 74 1/2. The most guys with his height are fighting at WW. There is a photo where they stand next to each other and Barry barely reaches to his shoulder. Struve has horrible standup and no reach knowledge and Barry is one of the best strikers in the UFC but that's a tremendous height difference. Your opinion?
Imagine how good Struve would be if he had the slightest bit of reach knowledge But as it is, he has **** poor reaction times and any capable striker would be able to close the distance and land a shot. He has no idea how to dictate the range, and those stretch Armstrong limbs means he is useless when someone is in the pocket. **** poor TD's as well, which is a major hindrance when you rely on your BJJ so much And Im sure someone will be along to critique his punch resistance soon....
I really hope Barry wins but always when I look at this picture I get a bad feeling This content is protected
He just needs the other Manny and A-side Meff. It turns completely uncoordinated bumblers into world class athletes.
