TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
STEFAN STRUVE
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who, like Terry Etim, gave an inspiring comeback performance at UFC 99 in Cologne, Germany.
Mixed martial artist Stefan Struve suffered a deep gash in his forehead, resulting in one of the bloodiest fights in recent UFC history, the type of cut that can be panic inducing for the afflicted fighter, fight-stopping material for the ringside doctors, or inspiring for a bloodthirsty opponent.
Struve was bleeding heavily and taking punches on the ground from Denis Stojnic, and appeared very close to a TKO loss before turning the tables and coming from behind to sink in a rear naked choke and secure the victory in the second round.
The fight left Struve with a long and deep lightning-shaped laceration on his forehead, guaranteeing him a strong resemblance to Harry Potter for the rest of his life.
For spirit in the face of adversity and fighting through the pain barrier, Struve is today’s training inspiration.
The victory raised Struve’s record to an impressive 17-3 and maintaining his status as one of the UFC’s most notable heavyweight prospects.
