A main event/co-main event spot against the biggest draw in the sport? No, he's not there yet.
Brock Lesnar isn't coming back to the UFC to fight Stefan Struve. Come on.
Well there are many reasons why Struve probably wouldn't be the choice but the most obvious one is that if Lesnar's going to be in the UFC he's going to be earning so much money that he has to be in the main event of a ppv. And Struve is not a pay per view headliner. But Struve is a quality opponent who has the potential to make Lesnar look like a destroyer again.

I think the only issue I have with Struve (if this isn't all just promotion for the WWE) is that chances are Brock would probably destroy him and really the UFC should be building him slowly and getting his profile up. He could be a huge draw card for them, you don't get many 24 year old 7 foot tall guys who aren't lumbering plodders in MMA but if he gets the **** beaten out of him any time soon it'll do more harm than good.
Well it all depends. If they view Struve as a potential huge drawing card then yes I agree. If they view him as a Cheick Kongo level guy then no.
