Chase Gormley To Fight Stefan Struve at UFC 104
Heavyweights Chase Gormley and Stefan Struve are set to fight at UFC 104 on October 24 in Los Angeles, according to Fighters Only, which reports that bout agreements have been signed for the matchup.
Gormley had been set to fight Ben Rothwell on the UFC 104 preliminary card, a bout originally scheduled for the canceled Affliction: Trilogy event on August 1, but after Shane Carwin was pulled from a UFC 104 matchup with Cain Velasquez to instead fight heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar at UFC 106 in November, Rothwell was tapped to fight Velasquez on the event’s main card.
Gormley (6-0), an NAIA All-American Wrestler, has won all 6 of his professional fights, most-recently fighting at MFC 16 in May 2008, defeating Eric Pele via unanimous decision.
Struve (17-3) suffered a first-round TKO to Junior dos Santos in February in his UFC debut, but bounced back with a second-round submission of Denis Stojnic in June despite suffering a large gash on his head that left him bleeding profusely.

I think that Gormley is going to win, but Struve has some heart and is super young I hope that he does well in his career
yea, i like struve….he’s not like the normal 7 footer, meaning he doesnt look real goofy and uncoordinated…he’s built like someone whos shorter…wow, that doesnt really make sense, but i know what im saying in my head, so i’ll sleep well…the end
nice man, haha
“Gee Mr Struve, my friend southcakalak is right! You sure don’t look like the usual 7 foot mutants you see lurking about MMA!
Would you mind signing my rashguard?”
just after justin calls it.. thats a bit suspect
I agree with petterson.
Is Justin working in Joe Silva’s office or something nowadays?
Well, I called 105, not 104, but I did get the match up right.
I kinda hope Struve wins, but have to say this fight just got a lot easier for Gormley.
lets go Shane!!!!!! Keep it standing and knock him out.
This is Brock’s biggest test yet!
