UFC Picks
Rogerio de Lima is a -130 favorite in this fight only because Struve is on a three-fight losing streak. Rogerio de Lima in his career is excellent at getting knockouts and has great combinations, but he wears out easily and his ground game is weak. De Lima must get a fast knockout or he will be in trouble, as Struve has an excellent ground game. This is a huge fight for Struve to show he still has what it takes to stay in the UFC. Even though the odds have De Lima as the favorite, I am going to go with the underdog price and take Struve to get the win via submission.
