“I can’t wait to get back in there healthy, feeling better and to really show how good I am. As I said before, in my opinion, I should have not lost that last fight. I should be on a five-fight win streak. It is what it is, I can’t change anything about it. The only thing I can do is make sure things go my way in July. We’re doing everything we can to make that happen, and I don’t see anyway how he can take that away from me.”

“I want to pick up where I left off when I beat Miocic. I want to continue my streak. Really, in my opinion, I should be able to walk through everybody up until the top 5 and I should be able to be competitive against the top 5 and win fights there, too. My best years are coming up. I’ve been in the UFC since my early 20’s. Heavyweights don’t peak up until they’re like 30 or in their 30’s. So, my best years are coming up and I can’t wait to show people that I’m really good in those best years.”

In a recent interview with ‘The Great Debate Podcast’ Stefan Struve discussed his return to fighting after a near forced retirement.
