Stefan Struve talks to David St Martin of SBNation.com about UFC 124 opponent Sean McCorkle and his torrents of online trash talk: "They're not really annoying. I don't pay much attention to it. I've never had a guy trash talk so much before a fight. It's funny, but some of them are kinda 'you know.' I'm 22 and he's like 34 or 35? Maybe even older. (ed. note - he's 37) It should be the other way around. Come on, grow up man. I'm getting a little annoyed but I'll talk to him next week. I don't like him and I'll do my talking with him next week in the octagon. I promise the people in Montreal one hell of a fight." Photo by Lee Whitehead for MMA Weekly More SBN Coverage of UFC 124.

Roy Nelson -340 talks Stefan Struve +260: "I think its definitely going to be a ‘different’ fight. You’ve got a 6’ 11" guy against a 5’ 5" guy, tall and slinky against short in stature. I think I am a little bit better in some aspects. I think my experience… actually I cant even say that, he has more fights than I do, haha! I think it will just come down to who wants it more. He is young hungry kid and I am a hungry old kid. I need to eat." "One of the things I always do is take everyone serious because [MMA] is like football, any given Sunday any team can win," Nelson says. -- full interview at fightersonlymagazine.co.uk UFC Fight Night 21: Florian vs. Gomi coverage

Roy Nelson (14-4, 1-0 UFC) talks Stefan Struve (19-3, 3-1 UFC): "Training is always good here at the Country Club" says the former IFL Heavyweight champion. "Preparation for Stefan has been interesting. We just started to put people on shoulders so I get that look," "The answer to this question is usually an easy one. Any Muay Thai striker throwing knees, you just put them on their back, [however that] might not be smart thing to do with Stefan Struve," he states respectfully. "Struve has won three of his four fights in the UFC so he is a great opponent," he continues. "[He] is right in the mix, so I would like to think I will be too". "The best thing about this fight is that we are mixed martial artists, so you never know," states the Las Vegas native. "I intend on beating Struve with my length and my abnormal build to derail his win streak." HT: Fight! Magazine UFC Fight Night 21: Florian vs. Gomi coverage
