| Struve and Cheick Kongo want to fight each other at UFC 156 in February Stefan Struve and Cheick Kongo want to fight each other at UFC 156 in February - MMAmania.com Quote:
With neither fighter currently booked for a fight, the two Europeans took to Twitter and played matchmaker for themselves.
"When's @StefanStruve next fight? Him and @kongo4real should throw it down!" A fan wrote to Struve and Kongo.
"Sounds good to me!" Struve replied via his personal Twitter account, then extending the offer to Kongo. "What do you think Cheick?! " Kongo, who has recently been criticized by UFC President Dana White for turning down a fight with Roy Nelson and one other bout, seemed happy to oblige to Struve's offer.
"It would be very exciting 4 the fans & a great challenge for both of us. UFC156 Lets do it!" The Frenchman wrote back to Struve.
With the two heavyweights seemingly trying to book their own fight, all they need to know is if there is place on the Superbowl weekend fight card for them to compete.
"I'm in! Great Fight for sure," Struve wrote. "Let's see if they got a spot left for us then!"
