Labels can be found everywhere in MMA. There are fighters who ascend the ranks to become champions and those who obtain greatness and go on to be known as legends.
Undoubtedly, somewhere along their journeys they were once tagged as prospects, and for every competitor with potential there comes a point where old labels are shed and new ones begin.
On Saturday night, in the main event for UFC on Fuel TV 5 in Nottingham, England, rising heavyweights Stefan Struve and Stipe Miocic will collide.
The victor will be ushered into the next tier of the division while the loser will be forced to take a step backwards. It is a battle which occurs at a critical junction of their respective careers. While there may not be championship gold on the line, this fight carries implications which will shape the road ahead for both men.
Each man has proven himself to be a talented fighter, but this matchup will reveal which of them is ready to move upwards and into the land where monsters such as Alistair Overeem and Cain Velasquez reside and Junior dos Santos rules with a pair of iron fists.
Miocic, with an unblemished record, solid wrestling and knockout power, is a fresh face in the divisional mix. The Cleveland, Ohio product has looked more impressive with each outing.
In February, he made quick work out of Phil De Fries and stepped in on short notice at UFC 146 to hand Shane Del Rosario the first loss of his career. After three solid victories on the sport’s biggest stage, Miocic appears to be on the cusp of becoming the next big thing in the weight class.
This is a position Struve knows all too well. The Dutch “Skyscraper” has traveled the path Miocic currently navigates, but each time he has appeared ready to cash in his prospect status, a loss has pushed him backwards.
However, his most recent performances suggest the trend may be changing as Struve has collected three consecutive victories, finishing all three of his opponents in impressive fashion. With solid momentum at his back, the time for Struve to make his run towards the divisional upper tier has arrived.
The most notable differences in their respective trajectories has come in the caliber of competition they have faced and overall experience. Despite being seven years Struve’s elder, Miocic has only competed nine times as a professional mixed martial artist where Struve has racked up 29 bouts.
