Morecraft, who found success from the top after an early takedown during the fight’s opening five minutes, was unable to finish things and eventually fell victim to a well-placed combination from the 6’11 heavyweight twenty-two seconds into the second stanza for his first taste of professional defeat. Struve is now 3-1 in the UFC with a pair of finishing performances.
Meanwhile, Rick Story scored the biggest win of his career by finishing respected submission-specialist Dustin Hazelett a little over a minute into their fight’s second round. Story was able to neutralize Hazelett’s attack from guard throughout the first round before landing a few big strikes in the second for the TKO victory. The win was Story’s fourth straight in the Octagon.
In other action, two-time NCAA champion wrestler Johny Hendricks made a strong recovery after a mediocre opening round against opponent Charlie Brenneman. Hendricks, who struggled to find his rhythm in the first frame, landed a barrage of punches less than a minute into the second setting up the eventual TKO finish and preserving his perfect record (9-0).
Hendricks fellow amateur champ and multi-time All-American grappler Phil Davis rolled as expected against Rodney Wallace.
