Stefan Struve overcomes a tepid first round to storm back in the second stanza and finish Dave Herman at last night's UFC on FUEL TV network television event from the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska.

Our own Brian Hemminger with the live play-by-play:

Struve presses forward and lands a nice leg kick. He lunges forward with a big right hand and Herman is forced to back away. Herman is on his bicycle now and Struve throws a beautiful combination, finishing it with a huge uppercut which drops Herman. Struve takes full mount and drops some punches. He's postured up and Herman is just covering up, eating strikes. He continues to pour it on and the ref steps in and puts a halt to it.

"Skyscraper" wins his second straight fight (with his second straight finish) to move one step closer to the coveted "in the mix" bracket. What say you Maniacs, maybe Struve vs. Stipe Miocic mid-year? Or too soon?
