Stefan Struve (20-4) bounced back from his crushing defeat at the hands of Roy Nelson to stop Christian Morecraft (6-1) with a second-round technical knockout at UFC 117.

Morecraft started strong in his UFC debut by taking the first round with some slick ground work, but the second frame was all Struve. The lanky Dutch striker put the Massachusetts native down with a one-two and followed up with punches for good measure until referee Herb Dean pulled him off just 22 seconds into round two.
