5 Predictions For UFC 193: Ronda Rousey Vs. Holly Holm
5. Stefan Struve vs. Jared Rosholt
Weight Class: Heavyweight Dutch fighter Stefan Struve (267) finally picked up a win, over Big Nog, after battling back from heart problems only to be crushed by Alistair Overeem back in December 2014. However, how much does the decision win over Nogueira at UFC 190 in August really mean? We'll find out when "The Skyscraper" takes on Jared Rosholt (132) Saturday night. Rosholt is 5-1 in the UFC, and actually beat the recently retired Soa Palelei in New Zealand just over a year ago, but Struve represents a step up in competition for him. Struve has been in the game a long time, and has far more experience than the American. Rosholt is a wrestler not exactly known for his knockout power, though like every heavyweight, the possibility is there. That said, Struve has all the tools to win this, especially is he uses his length to his advantage and stuffs Rosholt's takedown attempts. Look for Struve to add to his submission tally (he has sixteen total in his pro career) if this does go to the ground, or pick up a decision win otherwise.
