The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight division certainly lacks consistency when it comes to champions retaining their titles, but it is not short on hulking power punchers, strategic big men, and aging veterans who are always a few fights way from contention.
Leading into UFC Fight Night 87 on May 8 at the Ahoy Rotterdam arena in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Heavyweight hopeful Stefan Struve prepares himself for one of the more important bouts of his long career. Still only 28 years of age, the towering Dutchman will be competing in front of his home crowd for the first time since 2008.
