Browne seemed to tire in the first round after failing to connect with the even-taller Struve. He finally took Struve down with about 2:20 left in the round. But Struve managed to get control and then attack with a front choke. At one point he was going for an anaconda choke but Browne fought it off. When they separated and Browne got back to his feet, he caught Struve with a superman punch just as Struve was leaping in for a flying knee. Neither man's feet were on the ground when they collided. Struve was out when they next touched the ground.
Browne came into the bout 1-0-1 in the UFC and undefeated in 10 total fights. This win improves his record to 11-0-1.
Struve brought 5 UFC wins and 2 straight into the bout. He'd established himself as a bit of a gatekeeper in the division.
