UFC 193 Pay-Per-View

Jared Rosholt vs. Stefan Struve

Round 1: Both guys are in the Octagon now. Referee Herb Dean is in position. Round one begins. Even at 6’2”, Jared Rosholt looks tiny in there with the seven-foot Stefan Struve. So far the wrestler, Rosholt, hasn’t attempted a takedown attempt. Struve is staying on the outside and stalking Rosholt at times, throwing long front kicks to keep him at bay and score points here in the early goings of round one. The fans start to boo as we are almost two minutes into the round and not much has happened. Rosholt goes for his first takedown attempt and he gets Struve down with ease. Following the takedown, Rosholt remained in top position on the ground for the remainder of the round. He definitely controlled the bigger man, but didn’t really inflict a lot of punishment either.


Round 2: Round two begins with Struve trying to be a little busier than he was in the opening frame. It’s worth noting that despite the fact we have a record-breaking crowd of 70,000 people inside Etihad Stadium, the Melbourne audience is much like a Japanese audience, remaining quiet outside of boo’ing when too much time goes by without any real action. Struve charges at Rosholt with a combination of punches, but Rosholt avoids getting hit and changes levels and takes Struve down with ease again. The two end up in a scramble almost immediately, and while they did pop back up to their feet, Rosholt took him right back down. Rosholt has side control from the top position, yet Herb Dean warns them because he’s not doing anything with the position. Rosholt stands up and throws a big kick to the legs of a grounded Struve before diving into Struve’s full guard.

Round 3: Third and final round of the fight. We’re two minutes into the round and we’re still standing, but literally next to nothing has happened thus far. This definitely turned out to be a horrible fight to schedule as the PPV opener. Meanwhile, Struve fakes a low kick and wings it up high, partially finding the mark. Two minutes left in the round. Rosholt is finally starting to look a bit fatigued. Struve scores with a decent kick and senses an opportunity so he charges at Rosholt with punches. Struve catches Rosholt backing away with a solid knee to the grill. Right after that, Rosholt takes Struve down again. “Control his f*cking wrists!” from a shouting Marc Laimon in Rosholt’s corner gets UFC commentator Joe Rogan cracking up. Back on the feet, Struve actually takes Rosholt down, but unfortunately it was just as the ten second ticker hit. Struve finishes the third and final round blasting Rosholt from top position.

Jared Rosholt def. Stefan Struve via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

I can't believe it....

Yep. It's a hard pill to swallow.

I've been watching the videos of them for the past few months, and this week I started paying more attention to Holly's fighting style and thought Ronda was going to have a hard time with her. I knew if she couldn't get Holly on the mat, she was going to take a beating. And I went back and watched some of Holly's old fight's and every time she ended it with a head kick, I had a feeling she was going to do it to Ronda.

Damn man. I guess all undefeated streaks were meant to be broken. 2014 was Taker, and 2015 is now Ronda. We all know there is going to be a rematch, and if Ronda wins that one, then def a rubber match. But dang, Holm just beat Ronda like she was nothing.
