Stefan Struve had his four fight win streak snapped at UFC on FUEL TV 8 when he was defeated by Mark Hunt in the third round by knockout. Hunt landed a left hook that ended the fight and Struve went to Twitter to say he was heading to the hospital with a broken jaw.
Thanks for the support everybody, I wanted Herb to take the tooth out of my cheek and continue but then it turned out my jaw was broken..
