UFC on Fuel TV: Struve vs. Miocic is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on September 29, 2012 at Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England.[1]

Background

Jörgen Kruth was expected to make his UFC debut against Fabio Maldonado at this event. However, Kruth dropped out of the fight to retire from mixed martial arts. As a result, Maldonado was pulled from the event and will now face Glover Teixeira at UFC 153.[2]

Pascal Krauss was expected to face promotional newcomer Gunnar Nelson at the event. However, Krauss was forced out of the bout with an injury and Nelson was briefly linked to a bout with Rich Attonito in a catchweight bout to be contested at 175 lb.[3] However, Attonito had reservations about taking the short notice bout due to the weight cut requirements. DaMarques Johnson was slated to take on Nelson at 175 lb,[4] but he could not make the required weight. The fight now will be contested at 183 lbs.[5]
