MMA Mania brings us the news on the newest addition to the UFC 107 event:
UFC 107 Fight Announcement: Paul Buentello v. Stefan Struve
Towering up-and-coming heavyweight Stefan Struve (18-3) has officially taken over for the injured Todd Duffee in a bid to throw hands with Paul Buentello (27-10) at UFC 107: “Penn vs. Sanchez” from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tenn., on Dec. 12.
Buentello was last seen using Kiril Sidelnikov’s face as a human punching bag for almost three full rounds at Affliction 2: “Day of Reckoning” earlier this year. “The Headhunter” went on to eventually score a late third round technical knockout over the Russian Sambo specialist, who later tested positive for having banned substances in his system after the contest.
Struve stands at close to 7’ tall. While this may conjure up images of huge strikers like Semmy Schilt but Stefan possesses a very dangerous ground game. Most recently his submission skills were on display as he transitioned from position to position before submitting Chase Gormley.
A win for either man should put them into a position to get a fight with pretty decent implications. No word on if Todd Duffee will return with a fight against the winner.
