Stefan Struve vs. Paul Buentello Set for UFC 107 With Todd Duffee Injured
Stefan Struve has been tapped to fight a returning Paul Buentello on the main card of UFC 107 on December 12 in place of injured up-and-comer Todd Duffee, who withdrew from the fight last week due to an undisclosed injury.
After dropping his UFC debut to Junior dos Santos in February, Struve (18-3) has rebounded with back-to-back wins inside the Octagon over Denis Stojnic and Chase Gormley.
Buentello (24-10) returns to the UFC after going 3-1 in Strikforce and most-recently earning wins in Affliction over Gary Goodridge and Kirill Sidelnikov.
UFC 107, which takes place at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee, is headlined by lightweight champ BJ Penn vs. Diego Sanchez and also features Cheick Kongo vs. Frank Mir and Kenny Florian vs. Clay Guida.

107 is looking mighty fine
This should be a very interesting fight.
eldiablo,
did you read my apology comment on fedor suffers broken hand post?
Yeah I just did. I appreciate it, and it’s cool man.
I know how things can get misinterpreted online and have been guilty of the same things myself (ask carls, I sort of made a d-bag of myself this weekend).
I don’t have the best memory, but now that I think of it, I remember reading a couple of your posts after seeing RZA do a cameo at a KRS concert I went to this year and it sort of clicked in, you know, RJA, RZA.
ps, never underestimate the power of the smileys
man ufc 107 looks good…i like struve he always comes in ready to battle where the fight goes hope the young gun prevails
Cool,i been looking for ya to let you know that.I appreciate the understanding.I’ll give you a hug like fedor did when i see ya
Lol. Last thing I need is jcohl razzin me about another bromance.
Hey, I don’t judge…
If Struve gets the win here, I’m guessing he’ll catch Dana’s attention, and be signed for bigger and better fights, seeing as how the HWs are seemingly the new apple of Dana’s eye…
i don’t think he can pull off a win. the head hunter will stay on the outside and pick Struve apart with hard jabs. (i know he has reach disadvantage but has wayyy better stand up then Struve)
I like this match up, not nearly as much as Duffee v. Buantello, but I still like it. I kind of like Struve, so I hope he’s successful, but kid still needs to bulk up to remain competitive at heavyweight.
Definitely.
Apparently when Dana says UFC HW, he actually means MMA super HW by almost any other promotion’s definition, considering as how men like Lesnar, Carwin, and probably Duffee all weigh in around 3 bills before they start camp…
HELLO guys. my first post. a little of topic, but have a quick question. is the site hosted by UFC bias people? i use to post on BE, but they are Hippocrates and very unprofessional, so i was just wondering if if im going to get into “trouble” if i dont support DW?
Actually this is your second post. You probably mean hypocrites, not Hippocrates, but even further probably mean they have a double standard.
We don’t let people bash anyone here, fighters, posters, or promoters. Healthy criticism however is welcomed.
In terms of Dana White specifically, the man deserves a certain amount of respect since he is heavily responsible for MMA being where it is today, so if you try to call him the anti-Christ, or can do nothing but find fault with him, you are likely to find yourself criticized. If you find a balance you are going to be fine.
That said, don’t make every comment about him, or you will find yourself in trouble.
well said
fair enough, i dont hate DW, nor do i talk about him unless the post is on him. im not a 12 year old keyboard warrior, so thanks 4 the answer.
Oneway,
I think you’ll find that peeps on this site are pretty good about calling a spade a spade, no matter how big of a fan/supporter of someone or something. And even when they disagree its more of a polite debate than stupidity (most of the time:) ). As long as you are respectful and logical in your arguments, even if someone disagrees with you, it will be civil. The admins are very good about not allowing personal attacks if it turns ugly. This is one of the big reasons why I chose to start posting here instead of just reading. I check out other sites too but I think you’ll find Kris runs a good ship here.
see this thread for a good example:

I realy like struve he’s not ready for top 4(lesnar,carwin,valesguez,dos santos)yet,but he’s stil young he wil get there.He wil be a good contender for everybody else.
