And speculated return of Brock Lesnar to the UFC, which could happen in a duel against Jon Jones, current light heavyweight champion, but who is thinking about moving up to heavyweight, has not pleased many people. The one who doesn't hide his dissatisfaction with the story is the giant Stefan struve, who called Lesnar a cheater, stating that he should not be accepted in the biggest MMA organization in the world, since the former Ultimate champion has a history of doping controversies.
“I think cheaters shouldn't be in the UFC and I think the UFC made a big mistake bringing Lesnar in by giving him a four-month exemption before his last fight. So, USADA couldn't test him for four months, which would be a normal thing when you're bringing back a fighter”, declared the Dutchman, in an interview with the 'Submission Radio' program.
Asked about Lesnar's chances in the duel with Jones, Struve was even more skeptical. According to him, 'Bones' would be widely favored under any circumstances.
“I believe that if he were to return now, he would have to undergo six months of tests. I would be very curious to see how these six months would go. I think Jones beats him anyway. That simple. Jones is a very good athlete. I don't think Lesnar can get to him and put him down. Jones moves really well,” he concluded.
Struve, 31 years old, is preparing to return to the Octagon on September 2nd, when he will face the Russian Alexander Volkov in the main fight of UFC Netherlands. In the company since 2009, he has had 18 fights, recording 12 wins and six losses. His most recent performance was in October last year, when he submitted Daniel Omielańczuk at UFC 204. Interestingly, the Dutchman has already knocked out Stipe Miocic, current category champion.
