Kongo's only been submitted by Mir after he was pretty rocked, however I think Struve could pull off the sub here too.
Kongo's style is all about bullying and clinch work and I don't think he can achieve that too successfully against Struve. Kongo's got solid power for sure and nasty GNP when he feels threatened on his feet, however I believe Struve has the edge in too many of areas, whereas Kongo's advantages aren't as substantial.
All that said, I haven't been impressed with Kongo since like, UFC 92....
