The first UFC event after the Conor McGregor Magical Myster Tour had to be a weird ass day time Fight Pass Euro show. Tall men Stefan Struve and Alexander Volkov were the logical choices to headline the UFC Rotterdam event you may or may not have been aware of.
The entire marketing strategy behind hyping this heavyweight fight was “wow, these guys are tall human beings”.
