UFC heavyweight contender Stefan Struve has an opponent in mind for his next bout, and the young buck is hoping to take out one of the most accomplished veterans in his weight class. Struve (25-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) wants a fight with former PRIDE champion and ex-UFC titleholder Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (34-8-1 MMA, 5-4 UFC). As he wrote on Twitter : “Bigger they are, harder they fall huh @Minotauromma , lets back those words up and sign the contract, I’m waiting for you.” Struve first discussed the idea with Bleacher Report ‘s Damon Martin earlier this week. He said the matchup makes sense “since we’re both coming off a loss.” Struve is ranked No. 11 and Nogueira is No.
