MMA Fighting recently spoke to Stefan Struve about his upcoming UFC 124 fight against Sean McCorkle and about all the trash talk “The Curtain Jerker” has been saying about him. At the time, Struve seemed to have no interest in responding, but since then, he has started his own photoshop contest on MMA.tv in honor of McCorkle. It appears as though “The Skyscraper” has experienced a change of heart, and is now taking the bait.

Jesse Bongfeldt will make his UFC debut as a replacement for fellow countryman Jason MacDonald in a fight against Rafael Natal at UFC 124 on Dec. 11 in Montreal, according to Natal’s management.

MacDonald, who suffered a freak broken leg injury just seven months ago at UFC 113, decided to take more time to recover before making his return.

(Forget it Dana. He’s coming with me to Hollywood.)

Jason MacDonald’s loss will be fellow Canadian Jesse Bongfeldt’s gain as the Kenora, Ontario native will now step in for "The Athlete" who was forced to pull out of his UFC 124 bout with Rafael Natal due to a re-injury to the leg he broke at UFC 113 in May.

The opponent change was revealed by Natal’s management group Dominance MMA who announced the news via Twitter and Facebook today.

12-1 in his last 13 outings, Bongfeldt (21-6), who is the former Rumble in the Cage and TKO champion has not lost since getting TKO’d by Jonathan Goulet in 2007. His biggest win saw him defend his TKO welterweight strap by tapping out submission specialist TJ Grant with an armbar in 2008 at TKO 32.

Bongfeldt took time off from fighting following the Grant bout in 2008 after the birth of his son and relocated back to Ontario from Calgary where he spent several years training alongside UFC veteran Jason Day at Canadian Martial Arts Centre under trainer Lee Mein.

UFC Welterweight Champion contender, Josh Koscheck was in Montreal, Canada yesterday alongside Titleholder, Georges St. Pierre for a press conference hyping up their December 11th UFC 124 Main Event bout. The outspoken Koscheck brokedown his trash-talking as most fighters usually do, explaining its purpose is to “put butts in the seats out there, and that’s what this is about.”

Koscheck toys with the notion that he maybe isn’t such a bad boy and that it could be all an “illusion.” Either way he plans to “piss 22,000 people off and come out of here with a nice, shiny new belt and hop on the plane and get home as quickly as I can.” But that may be a tad difficult if one of his limbs is broken as that is the intention of GSP who says, “I will finish the fight. Either he taps, or if he doesn’t tap, his limb will break.”

It’s only October and the trash-talking is pretty decent, can’t wait to see this fight go down and if Kos can make it out of Montreal in one piece.

Mac Danzig vs. Joe Stevenson Slated for UFC 124 in Montreal

As first reported by MMA Mania, a lightweight meeting between Ultimate Fighter winners Mac Danzig and Joe Stevenson is likely for UFC 124: St. Pierre vs. Koscheck II (December 11; Montreal, Quebec, Canada).

After cruising through the sixth season of TUF as a welterweight, Danzig immediately dropped to lightweight and took out Mark Bocek at UFC 83. Since then, he’s gone 1-4 in the Octagon, most recently losing to Matt Wiman by a controversial technical decision. Danzig was scheduled to have a rematch with Wiman at UFC Fight Night 22, but had to withdraw due to injury

As for Joe Daddy, the TUF 2 welterweight winner could also use a ‘W’, as he’s coming off his unanimous decision loss to George Sotiropoulos at UFC 110. Stevenson was slated to take on Takanori Gomi at Jones vs. Matyushenko, but dropped out due to an injury of his own and was replaced by Tyson Griffin. Time for one TUF winner to get his shit together, and another to board the slow boat to palookaville…
