UFC Heavyweight Stefan Struve Announces Retirement from MMA
Stefan
Struve announced his retirement on Monday after a 42-fight
professional career that began in 2005.
The 7-foot Dutchman revealed his decision on social media, citing
an ear condition that worsened when he was hit during a recent UFC
bout. Struve has dealt with vertigo, hearing loss and a ringing
noise in his ear as a result of the condition, which is permanent
but doesn’t affect his day-to-day life when he’s not training for a
fight. Struve said he elected to call it a career after the UFC
recently reached out to offer him a fight.
