I have never been able to get into V8's. Adelaide is crazy right now with everything being closed off for that plus Soundwave plus the Fringe.

Can't wait for this fight, Struve vs. Hunt should be awesome.

Why wouldn't they just list Struve as 7 feet tall, what is half an inch.

Pretty funny that Hunt has an 8-7 MMA record and that includes three wins in his last three fights. Not the best record but he is so damn entertaining.

Struve is exciting and has loads of potential, but man I love Mark Hunt. Crazy Samoan bastard. Hopefully will get a finish in this one, long overdue.

Struve is so confident to drop guard, nice sweep as well by him to get top position.

He is a New Zealand but is based out of Australia. Was huge a decade ago in Japan.

I don't think anyone can hate Mark Hunt, he is such a likeable guy. But I want Struve to win so that he can continue his climb up the rankings rather than dropping to the back again.

Struve still not using his reach properly, Hunt getting a couple of good shots in. Struve gets the first round though in my opinion.

Struve is crazy for letting Hunt get so close to him and allowing him to swing freely. Good to see him using his legs a bit more to keep Hunt away but he isn't using that jab enough.

Nice sweep from Hunt to take it to the ground.

He's obviously talented, but I've yet to hear any of the commentators criticize Struve. He really hasn't impressed much at all, yet they are just drooling over him. Good fight so far, Hunt is showing a lot of aggressiveness.

Close round, Hunt had a takedown and some big shots but Struve also had a takedown and he did a lot more on the ground. Could make a case for either guy to win the round.

Not the fight I was expecting at all.

I think it is because of what Struve has done in his previous fights. In fairness the only thing they have criticised Hunt for is taking it to the ground which is where Struve has the advantage.
