Stefan Struve Feeling As Confident As Ever

Stefan Struve could make a strong statement in the UFC's heavyweight division with a win over Stipe Miocic Saturday at UFC on Fuel TV: Struve vs. Miocic. The bout will mark just another fight inside the Octagon for Struve, but it will be his first-ever main event.

"Everything, it's all the experience I have," said Struve, of his ever-growing level of confidence. "I'm 24 now, I'm not a boy. I'm one of the bigger guys. I'm just so confident now."

Struve also officially checked in at 7-feet tall, making him the tallest fighter in UFC history. UFC president Dana White said earlier in the week that a win by either fighter would likely push them into the Top-5 in the division, something "Skyscraper" definitely wants.

"I believe we're both in Top-10, and with a win, like Dana White said, we'll be in Top-5," Struve said.

Struve (24-5) has won his last three bouts, including two submission and one knockout victory. He is 8-3 in the UFC.
