Theres that fan talk again lol

I never denied being a fan.

Unlike you, I have favorite fighters and I feel emotionally about them winning and losing.

trust me I'm plenty emotional when I have big money on a fighter.

Ha ha, you and me both.

But sometimes I won't bet against a fighter I like because I want to be able to cheer for them 100%. I don't do that often, but occasionally I don't want my loyalties divided.

I really think Roy wants to keep this fight standing, where he will have a power advantage. I know Roy is dam good on the ground, but Struve is just so long, and has a knack for subbing guys with those lanky legs. HOw can you really prepare for a 6'10" grappler?

I could see Roy getting inside and KO'ing Struve.

Roy by whatever he wants.

Roy wins standing and on the ground. No way Struve subs him.

Roy is world class on the ground. He has submission grappling wins over Frank Mir and World Champ Jeff Monson. Zero chance Struve beats him on teh ground. He has a better chance outpointing him standing. I will be on Roy for this.

Side note to SPX: Roy is awesome, don't hate the buddha belly.

I agree Struve's most likely path to victory is out-pointing Roy standing. If he can use his kicks wisely and keep Roy away with them, instead of Roy catching one and taking him down or taking him to the ground when Struve is on one foot, by the 3rd round he could have the stand up advantage with a cardio edge. I'd be surprised if either guy submits the other but I can Roy Roy out-grappling Struve. Struve took some big shots from Buentello so if he can keep it standing and get late into the fight Struve will have a chance. Interested to see the line
