Honey, I shrunk the ‘California Kid’? ‘Skyscraper’ Stefan Struve towers over Urijah Faber

They don’t call him the “Skyscraper” for nothing.

During the UFC on ESPN 7 media day Thursday, Stefan Struve and Urijah Faber took a photo together.

And nope, this is not Photoshopped. The 7-foot Struve absolutely towered over the 5-foot-6 Faber in a photo that almost doesn’t look real.

There are weight classes in this sport for a reason.

Struve fights on Saturday’s main card at UFC on ESPN 7 in Washington, D.C, against fellow heavyweight Ben Rothwell.

Faber is in town to corner one of his teammates, star pupil Song Yadong, who takes on Cody Stamann in a pivotal bantamweight clash. Faber returns to the cage next week at UFC 245 against Peter Yan in Las Vegas.
