Stefan Struve balances joy of electrifying win, loss of teammate Jordan Parsons

UFC Fight Night 87 will go down as one of the most memorable evenings in Stefan Struve's career.

The giant heavyweight from the Netherlands got a hero's welcome from the sellout crowd in Rotterdam on May 8, then went out and finished Antonio Silva in a mere 16 seconds.

"This was absolutely amazing," Struve said on a recent edition of The MMA Hour. "The chants, the way the arena exploded when the Dutch fighters walked out. Everything. I felt so great, it was absolutely amazing."

But it was also marked the end of a roller-coaster week for the Blackzilians fighter, as it came just days after his teammate, Bellator competitor Jordan Parsons.
