My prediction


Struve is dumb for the beginning as he always is, decides to strike a bit with Lavar and pays for it in the first round. Lavar gets another highlight reel ko but doesnt get the bonus because Junior will get it

Lavar moves further up the rankings and will be getting a top 5 heavyweight sooner than expected but gets derailed by whomever it is

Sturve won't be a good enough wrestler to get it down to the ground

[Lemony Snicket]

Everyone is selling struve short. He gets himself in trouble in alot of fights but its almost his trademark to get himself out of it. I know everyone is mystified by lavars striking but struve is a different animal.

Let's see Struve never uses his reach standing. He just doesn't seem to understand the spacing in striking. Dude has the longest reach and he never uses it. Only way he wins is pulling guard and working a sub before Lavar smashes that gumby jaw of Struve.

[Lemony Snicket]

Most intelligent analysis ever.

[Str8Ryt]

You guys are drunk. If Pat " Zero Skill 'cept for kickboxing" can manhandle Lavar to the ground, Struve will kill Big. Pat is literally retarded at fighting and easily got full mount with the quickness. Struve takes this by easy sub.

[Lemony Snicket]

Youre gonna get killed for that. Consensus on this board is that Lavar is "The Terminator".

[bhorrrr]

did anyone ever even say anything other than some variant of "big hits hard and struve has shown bad stand-up defense and has a propensity for getting knocked down"?

i don't think anyone here thinks big is.. well.. anything other than a big heavy hitter.

There are literally 2 possible outcomes. (Lavar KO Struve Sub)
