Stefan (Skyscraper) Struve has been to hell and back. Mark Andrews Jersey . Twice.The seven-foot, 255-pound Dutch heavyweight was sidelined in 2013 when he was diagnosed with a rare heart condition. Finally cleared by doctors, he was scratched from UFC 175 in July when he blacked out in the dressing room on the eve of entering the cage.After a change in medication, Struve (29-6) is back to face former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem (37-14 with one no contest) on a televised UFC Fight Night card Saturday in Phoenix.He says the difference is night and day.Its great to be back, enjoying fight week and just having a lot of fun, Struve said in an interview. Looking back at how I felt the last time, being on the medication I was on ... feeling horrible and just not happy at all.The main card at US Airways Center on Saturday features two other heavyweight bouts.Former champion Junior Dos Santos, currently ranked second among heavyweight contenders, takes on No. 4 Stipe Miocic in the main event. Matt Mitrione, ranked 14th, meets No. 12 Gabriel Gonzaga.Lightweight Nate Diaz, ranked 14th among 155-pound contenders, returns to action to face No. 3 Rafael Dos Anjos in the co-main event. After suffering a broken jaw in a knockout loss to hard-hitting Mark Hunt in Japan in March 2013, Struve was diagnosed with a leaking aortic valve, as well an enlarged heart. It meant that his heart was only pumping 60 per cent of his blood into the aorta and then the rest of his body. The remaining 40 per cent was ending up back in the heart chamber.Struve had been sick for six weeks before the Hunt bout and things didnt get better afterwards. He couldnt sleep and had no energy. Then one day at his parents house, he got dizzy standing up after working at the computer. He sat down and blacked out briefly.A trip to hospital and subsequent barrage of tests eventually found the heart problem. But he says he underestimated the side effects of the medication.I didnt think two little pills a day would do anything weird to me, he said.When his body began to act up backstage at UFC 175, the first thing Struve thought of was his heart — which only exacerbated the problem. He had also been dealing with the death of his father after a long illness.It all made for a bad cocktail of emotions.My heart just went crazy, he said. I lost control of my breathing. It was just a really really bad experience. All the negative things became a lot more negative because of the medication. I wasnt able to control that.The aftermath was captured on UFC president Dana Whites video blog. Struve is shown weeping in the bathroom as his opponent, Mitrione, tries to console him.Dont worry, Mitrione says as Struve repeatedly apologizes. The ticker will get back to normal and well get this rescheduled.Struve thought his career was over. Fortunately answers were quick to come.One of his trainers ran into someone at their hotel in Las Vegas who said he had experienced side effects from the same heart medication. Struve heard a similar story from someone else a few days later.I had something to grasp onto it, he said.His doctor put him on another drug, which seems to be doing the trick. Struve says he will probably have to undergo surgery at some point but hopes to do it after his fighting career.The 26-year-old Struve now just wants to get his focus back on fighting. Prior to the loss to Hunt, he had reeled off wins over Miocic, Lavar Johnson, Dave Herman and Pat Barry.These days Struve is looking for as many answers as he can find. He has been working with some mental experts to help deal with the stress of fighting for a living.His height and reach are powerful weapons, as is his set of submission skills. He is also durable although he has suffered punishing knockouts losses at the hands of Junior Dos Santos, Roy (Big Country) Nelson, Travis Browne and Hunt.At six foot four and 265 pounds, the 34-year-old Overeem is like a rhino in the cage. But he has lost three of his last four with opponents surviving early attacks to put the big man away.Hes not the same fighter he used to be a couple of years ago, in my opinion, Struve said. I cannot wait to show that Im just a couple of levels above him.---Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Michael Crabtree Ravens Jersey .

Rankings were weighted evenly between separate lists made by TSN Radio host and soccer analyst Gareth Wheeler as well as TSN.cas soccer editors. 1. Manchester City (Last Week-2) Manchester City climbed to the top of the table with another emphatic victory, 5-1 on the road against Tottenham. Sergio Aguero scored the first of the five goals but then limped off the field just before halftime with a hamstring injury, causing some concern for the new league leaders. 2. Chelsea (LW-1) Chelsea heavily dominated the action, firing 39 shots on goal including two clear scoring chances in added time but were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw with West Ham. Frank Lampard had probably the best chance of the game in the 97th minute but was denied the goal that would have won the game. 3. Arsenal (LW-3) Arsenal was only able to get a point out of their trip to St Marys Stadium as they settled for a 2-2 draw with Southampton. Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla scored four minutes apart but the elusive third goal never arrived for the Gunners. 4. Liverpool (LW-5) The 222nd Merseyside Derby was painted red by Liverpools emphatic 4-0 victory over Everton. Steven Gerrard converted a Luis Suarez corner to open the scoring, before Daniel Sturridge scored twice in two minutes to put the game away. Suarez would get one of his own and Sturridge would miss a penalty in the one-sided contest. 5. Manchester United (LW-8) Juan Mata debuted, while Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney returned to lead Manchester United to a 2-0 victory over Cardiff City. Van Persie opened the scoring in the sixth minute and Ashley Young put the game away with a screamer in the 59th minute. 6. Tottenham (LW-4) A red card to Danny Rose and a penalty for the same offence doomed Tottenham in their 5-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester City. Michael Dawson also had a goal controversially ruled out for offside that would have equalized the game early and could have changed Spurs fortunes. 7. Everton (LW-6) There were not many positives for Everton as they were beaten 4-0 by Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby. Adding injury to insult, Romelu Lukaku was stretchered from the field with an ankle injury. 8. Newcastle United (LW-7) Loic Remy was sent off for Newcastle in an altercation with Norwichs Bradley Johnson who was also shown red in a game that ended in a 0-0 draw. 9. Southampton (LW-9) Jose Fonte and Adam Lallana scored on either side of halftime as Southammpton drew Arsenal 2-2 in a wild, back and forth contest. Lamar Jackson Ravens Jersey. nbsp; Lallana tied the game for good just two minutes after Santi Cazorla had given the Gunners their first lead of the match. 10. Aston Villa (LW-10) The West Midlands derby was a wild affair that was settled in the favour of Villa, 4-3 over West Brom. Christian Benteke scored the deciding goal from the penalty spot after his team battle back from an early 2-0 deficit. 11. Swansea City (LW-14) For the first time in nine games, Swansea earned all three points in a Barclays Premier League game after beating Fulham 2-0. Jonjo Shelvey and Chico Flores found the scoresheet for the Swans. 12. Norwich City (LW-13) Norwich traded red cards with Newcastle but neither team scored in a 0-0 draw. Bradley Johnson was shown red for Norwich City after getting into an altercation with Newcastles Loic Remy who was also sent off for the infraction. 13. Crystal Palace (LW-16) Jason Puncheon earned himself another Barclays Premier League winning goal as he led Palace over Hull City 1-0. Tony Pulis continues his efforts to save Crystal Palace from the relegation zone. 14. West Bromwich Albion (LW-11) Chris Brunt and a Fabian Delph own goal gave West Brom an early 2-0 lead but in the end they dropped the West Midlands derby 4-3 to Aston Villa. 15. Hull City (LW-12) Hulls new strike partnership of Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic were not able to find the net as the Tigers fell to Crystal Palace 1-0. Hull dropped their fourth straight Barclays Premier League match. 16. Sunderland (LW-17) Adam Johnson was the difference as Sunderland climbed out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 victory over Stoke City. 17. Stoke City (LW-15) Steven Nzonzis red card early in the second half ended any thoughts of a Stoke fight back as they fell 1-0 to Sunderland. This was Stokes sixth straight league game without a victory. 18. West Ham United (LW-18) With only one shot on target and 28% of the possession, West Ham managed to hold on for a 0-0 draw with Chelsea. Keeper Adrian was forced to be brilliant many times during the contest and answered the bell each time he was called upon to secure the point for his team. 19. Cardiff City (LW-19) Ole Gunnar Solskjaers return to Old Trafford was spoiled as his Cardiff side were defeated 2-0 by Manchester United. The Welsh side remains at the bottom of the table. 20.
