According to a report from MMAJunkie, Stefan Struve will return to the Octagon and take on the undefeated Travis Browne. The fight is expected to be added to UFC 130, which takes place on May 28 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
At UFC 124, Struve scored a first-round knockout over Sean McCorkle in the co-main event. The win improved Struve’s promotional record to 5-2. He also owns victories over Paul Buentello, Chase Gormley and former Shark Fights light heavyweight champion Marcus Sursa.
Browne came to the UFC with an undefeated record. In his UFC debut, he scored a knockout over James McSweeney with 28 seconds left in the first round. Browne returned at UFC 120 and drew with Cheick Kongo after the French heavyweight was deducted a point in the last round.
The Alliance MMA heavyweight also holds wins over UFC veteran Aaron Brink, “The Ultimate Fighter” veteran Abe Wagner and former NFL player Michael Westbrook.
Cain Velasquez is the current UFC heavyweight champion. Recently news broke that he will be out of action for at least four months. The promotion is in the process of deciding on whether to host an interim title bout or not.
Zuffa has not officially announced UFC 130. However, multiple media sources have begun reporting fights for the card.
