Heavyweights Stefan Struve, Marcos Rogerio de Lima to Clash at UFC Prague

A heavyweight duel pitting Stefan Struve against Marcos Rogerio de Lima has been booked for UFC on ESPN+ 3 in Prague, Czech Republic.

The Las Vegas-based promotion recently confirmed the pairing. UFC on ESPN+3 takes place on Feb. 23 at O2 Arena and is headlined by a light heavyweight tilt between Thiago Santos and Jan Blachowicz. The card will also include a women’s flyweight bout between Liz Carmouche and Lucie Pudilova.

The 30-year-old Struve enters the bout on a three-fight skid. The Netherlands native ended 2017 with a third-round TKO loss to Alexander Volkov before dropping consecutive decisions against Andrei Arlovski and Marcin Tybura.
