With UFC 107 just days away, MMA Gospel welcomes 6’11”, 21 year old “Skyscraper” Stefan Struve (22-3) to the show to talk about his upcoming battle with UFC veteran “The Head Hunter” Paul Buentello (25-10). Struve, on a two fight winning streak, welcomes Buentello back to the Octagon after an almost three-year hiatus.

At the young age of 14, Struve was introduced to the MMA world by his older brother, and was instantly drawn to the sport. After completing middle school Struve made the decision to train full time and dropped out of school; the decision seems to have paid off thus far. At 21 Struve sports a 22-3 record, his only loss in the UFC coming by way of TKO from Junior Dos Santos (9-1). Struve looks to defeat Buentello, solidifying his place in the UFC Heavyweight Division by taking out a proven veteran.

Also on the show today from Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter 10, Demico Rogers (4-0). Rogers, a stand out athlete in high school, got his Master Technician Certification from Wyo-Tech in Laramie Wyoming, and still holds a job as a Mercedes Benz Technician while he trains with Mark Messer at Ring Sports United. Although Rogers didn’t make it to The Ultimate Fighter Finale to win the UFC contract, he still looks to make his mark as a legit heavyweight in the MMA world.

Myrriah, from Tap That MMA and Velvet Industries, will also be stopping in to talk about her company and its growing popularity.

Join The Reverend Turk and Gary today on MMAGospel Radio for a great show on their first Wednesday broadcast. MMA Gospel Radio will air tonight from 7:30 – 9:30PM ET. Listen to the show or join in the live chat at www.blogtalkradio.com/mmagospel .

    Stefan Struve would be probably better off at StrikeForce where there’s less Hulks roaming the division.

    Not so sure about that. His height gives him an advantage. He can use it to keep his distance and strike. Also, if on the ground, he has a very good submission game. Plus he has been focused on putting on weight.
