NOTTINGHAM – Two heavyweights will clash as the headline fight at UFC on Fuel 5 as Stefan Struve meets Stipe Miocic, but first the heavy hitters have to make weight on the scales.
None of the fighters struggled to make weight on Friday including the heavyweight main event fighters who obviously didn’t have to suffer cutting pounds like many of the other competitors on the card.
Local favorite Dan Hardy got the loudest ovation from the Nottingham crowd, but all of the British fighters were well received including former BAMMA champion Tom ‘Kong’ Watson who makes his long awaited UFC debut.
