It was in that same fight where Mark Hunt shattered the jaw of &#8220;skyscraper&#8221;.  Shortly after the fight it was discovered that Struve suffered from a leaky aortic valve in his heart.  Meaning his heart was divided into two leaflets instead of the normal three.  Struve&#8217;s doctors chose to use medication to try and resolve the issue, and it proved to be a success.  <\/p>\n<p>It was announced recently that Struve would be fighting Matt Mitrione in his comeback fight on UFC 175, the UFC&#8217;s annual Fourth of July weekend card.  Struve spoke to MMAWeekly about his opponent.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In Macau, when Mitrione (last) fought, he was really interested (in my heart condition), so I explained to him what was going on and all that. So he knew where I was at. Then, a couple months later, even before I&#8217;m cleared to return to the Octagon, you tell Joe Silva that you want to fight me for my comeback fight? I wasn&#8217;t even cleared to fight yet. Everybody knew I was on the way up, things were looking good, but I wasn&#8217;t cleared yet. Everybody knew that I had a heart issue and then you call up the matchmaker without knowing I&#8217;m cleared and then you ask for the fight? The only way you would do that is because you think you have a better chance of winning that fight. In my opinion, that really is pathetic and Matt Mitrione made this personal.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Evan Stoumbelis It&#8217;s been over a year since Stefan Struve has been in the Octagon.
