Stefan Struve Wants to Get to 280 Pounds for Lesnar, Carwin, Etc.

With his first-round win at UFC 124, Stefan Struve has now captured five of his last six fights, a strong run in the division. Because of it, many believe Struve is soon to face up with some of the division’s best. On the flip side, Struve is just 22 years old, so it might make some sense to let him continue to work his way towards the division’s elites.

Because of a variety of issues, the UFC may well put Struve into the mix with the biggest of its big names, including Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin, athletes who cut down to make the division’s 265-pound limit. And while Struve thinks he’s ready for the move skill-wise, he would prefer to take a little more time to put on the muscle he feels is necessary to face the UFC’s monster heavyweights.

Falling Action: Best and Worst of UFC 124

The fans in Montreal got an early Christmas present when their homegrown champion gave them 25 minutes worth of domination, but what about UFC 124‘s supporting cast? While some fighters took a step forward on Saturday night, others likely stepped out of the picture entirely, and at least one found himself just barely hanging on.

Without further delay, let’s take a look at the winners, losers, and everything in between after UFC 124.

Biggest Winner: Georges St. Pierre
Watching GSP out-jab Koscheck for five rounds was like watching a mongoose fight a sponge. He was simply too quick and too precise, and that was before Koscheck was forced to try and defend himself with the use of only one eye. You can say what you will about the pound-for-pound debate, but there is no champion in all of MMA who is currently more dominant in his weight class. Now that he’s proven his ability to pick apart with strikes what few opponents he can’t easily outwrestle, a lot of 170-pounders in the UFC are probably considering going up or down in weight this morning. It’s either that, or wait for the 29-year-old champion’s skills to atrophy with age. Better get comfortable, because it’s probably going to be a while.

Stefan Struve pulled out a dramatic comeback against Sean McCorkle Saturday at UFC 124, pulling off a beautiful reversal from his back and drilling McCorkle with punches to win a first-round technical knockout.

The two fighters expressed plenty of bad blood toward each other in the run-up to this fight, which Struve referenced in his post-fight comments.

“You can trash talk all you want,” Struve said. “It’s settled here in the Octagon.”
