Morning Report: Stefan Struve: 'Everything kind of fell apart for me after the fight with Stipe'

Feeling better than ever, Stefan Struve is gearing up to make a run at the UFC heavyweight title.

This weekend in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 87, Stefan Struve will be taking on Antonio Silva but regardless of how the fight plays out it won't be Struve's toughest battle. Struve's most difficult opponent has proven to be himself and a heart condition which sidelined him for over a year.

Struve fought Mark Hunt on March 3, 2013. Coming into the fight he was riding a four fight winning streak and a victory over Hunt would have likely propelled him into a title eliminator.
