Travis Browne and Stefan Struve Look To Battle at UFC 130

Stefan Struve finally has an opponent.  After being rumored for bouts against Brendan Schaub and Frank Mir, Struve is being pegged for a contest against the hard hitting Browne, according to MMAJunkie.com.

Stefan Struve (21-4) is coming off of two impressive wins in a row over Christian Morecraft and Sean McCorkle.  His bout with Morecraft was especially exciting considering the thrashing he took in the opening round.  Struve was able to rebound between rounds and knock out the debuting Morecraft.

Browne (10-0-1) looks to regain the momentum he had following his devastating debut against James McSweeney.  The Hawaiian most recently fought Cheick Kongo to a draw at UFC 120.  After controlling the bout in Round 1, Browne came out visibly gassed and gave away his lead.  A point deduction for holding shorts ended up costing Kongo the fight.

This is only the second fight rumored for UFC 130, which is tentatively set for May 28 in Las Vegas.  Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story has also been leaked for the card.
