Mark Hunt vs. Stefan Struve official for all-heavyweight UFC 146 main card
Posted on March 15, 2012, 04:45 AM by Anton Gurevich
On May 26th, Ultimate Fighting Championship will present one of the biggest (literally) fight cards in MMA history, with a stacked top to bottom UFC 146 fight card at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will be headlined by Junior dos Santos' first UFC Heavyweight title defense, against "The Demolition Man" Alistair Overeem.
Heavyweight match-up between Stefan Struve and Mark Hunt is the most recent bout announced for May 26th, and will be featured on what is now officially an all-heavyweight PPV line-up. Other UFC 146 main card bouts include Fank Mir vs. Cain Velasquez, Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Shane Del Rosario, and Roy Nelson vs. Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva.
UFC 146 prelims are also expected to deliver great bouts, with Edson Barboza, Jason Miller, Dan Hardy and Kyle Kingsbury (fights the debutant Glover Teixeira), all testing their skills inside the Octagon.

Comments
Bring it! Hunt FTW!
Struve will get rocked with a punch straight down the pipe, and that will be the begining of the end.
Struve vs Hunt is probably the tallest vs the smallest in the division
I think they already did that with Struve vs. Barry lol
This card is HEAVY with talent
What a sick card!
It seems as though they wanna go easy on Hunt, not that he's gonna win easy. In fact he might very well lose, but i mean they keep giving him fighters that will stand with him, they saw what happened when they gave Hunt a ground guy like Mc Corkle. Anyway i can't wait to see this one !
struve might enjoy kickboxing but if hunt hurts him he could easily take it to the floor and sub
i think the barboza vs dunham should be main card over gonzaga
Just for the info, its a heavyweight main card bro :)
But in a "normal" main card i would definitely agree with you.
well their the main event for prelims makes for a good watch on free tv...
Naw, Shane del Rosario was an up & coming prospect before getting in a car wreck. I look for him to shine in the UFC.
Please struve be smart for once and try to take this fight to the ground
I like Struve, and if he keeps improving, I could see him wearing the belt a few years down the road.
But Hunt is a beast. Huge power with an iron chin. In the K1 days he would wade through guys, absorbing their best shots, and then put them down with one punch.
Tough test for Struve, but should be a great fight.
Hunt is still a K1 fighter in a MMA World. Put him infront of a wrestler and he will look stupid like james toney did.
Glad to see Miller on the list. Hope he can prove that the last fight was a one off mistake. The guy can fight with the best in the world and usually brings it.
I thought he was going to lose to Bisping, but it was very apparent that ring rust had taken its toll. He might've been so hyped to be back in the UFC again he suffered the "newbie" adrenaline dump as well. Whatever the reason was, he's a much better fighter than he showed in his last fight, and I expect he'll be looking to make a statement here.
Looks like a great card. Hope we get lots of KOs
Struve might get killed here. I don't see him hurting Hunt at all.
Great Card in LA to this gonna be one hell of an event
Hunt knocks out one fighter and all of a sudden he's the most dangerous guy out there. I got Struve winning this one by submission.
"recently"
Much rather see Hunt vs Werdum,Nelson vs Kongo so they can get rid of the robotic fighting gorilla once and for all,this card is sick! Big Country better come through against Bighead! =D
This card is ****ign awesome! Shane del Rosario, KNOW THAT NAME! But having 2 of the baddest strikers in the sport today fighting for the title, 2 former champions fighting to get a fight or 2 away from the title, one of the biggest fan favs, as well as a badass undercard with edson barboza fighting, this card is RIDICULOUS. It will also be the ufc debut of antonio silva, thats pretty damn live man. (Y)
Awesome Card...
Goodnight, Struve.
WTF....NO Travis Browne???
Brown vs griggs is missing here. (i'm geussing / hoping lowkick forgot to type it in) looking forward to that one ! good card all over !
