Sean McCorkle may be famed for his message board wit and Internet trash talk, but Dutch youngster Stefan Struve is walking away with the last laugh.
Sure, a first-round TKO win over McCorkle at Saturday night’s UFC 124 event in Montreal would probable be enough, but Struve – whether intentional or not – rubbed a little salt in the wound for good measure.
“It’s good to keep my face intact for once,” Struve told MMAjunkie.com. “My last three or four fights were wars. I got a couple new scars from that.
“It’s good to win an easy fight.”
“I wasn’t concerned,” Struve said of the keylock he was in early in the fight. “I stayed calm and relaxed. He has to break my arm if I’m going to tap. I went up to the fence. If he wanted to push it up, he’d have to push me up, so it was no problem to be there.”
“The fight was easier than I thought it would be. Everything I tried, I succeeded.”
