Unfortunately for him he never got the chance because Struve never got anywhere, whereas Miocic went off to accomplish greater things. By the end of it all Struve had to retire due to health issues, whereas Miocic is still a top Heavyweight despite losing to Ngannou.

Stefan really have lot of potential this fight prove that... but looks like the guy sometimes didn't using his reach for advantage and that's why many fighters still can touch his chin

Struve had negative fight IQ as well. He constantly went for flying knees and getting into close range with shorter opponents (exposing his suspect chin) instead of using his reach. Health problems stemming from his abnormal height didn't help either.

I know he was on the juice and all, but I'll forever be a fan of his for knocking tf out of boring ass Jon Fitch, who at the time was the top welterweight in the world just under GSP.

How do you not constantly attack the body of Struve? Stipe looked very timid here.

[@hangry3102]

The reach advantage is intimidating and, as we can see, 3:25 whenever he'd look down to attack the body of Struve that's when he couldn't see what Struve was going to do and left himself open to counters. Struve's gaurd was blocking shots up top early on in the fight so when Stipe began focusing on the body Struve easily punished him.

[@hangry3102]

Overall there's ways to attack the body safely but Stipe simply looked inexperienced in playing the safe game than anything.

You can't be the heavyweight goat if you were brutally knocked out by Stefan Struve...just saying

Exactly. I saw in an interview where someone asked him if he beats Jones should he be considered the greatest fighter of all time... I'm sitting here like dude might not even be the greatest heavyweight of all time. Lost to Struve, Cormier, Dos Santos and Ngannou. I don't think Jones loses to those guys. The heavyweight division in general has never been that great. I think if Jones would have decided to fight at heavyweight early in his career he would have walked through the division the same way he did at light heavyweight. Jones is the greatest of all time and it's not even close.
