Nothing like putting two big slow white guys the ring together. Here’s the news from MMA Weekly:
Light heavyweights Stephan Bonnar and Krzysztof Soszynski are expected to do battle at UFC 110.
MMAWeekly.com learned of the match-up Friday from sources close to the situation. Though bout agreements have not been signed, both fighters have agreed to the fight and are expected to put pen to paper shortly.
UFC 110 has yet to be officially announced by the promotion but is expected for Feb. 21 at the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia.
Bonnar (11-6) last appeared at UFC 100 in July, where he lost by unanimous decision to former heavyweight champion Mark Coleman in the promotion’s blockbuster summer event. It was his second consecutive loss on points after a setback to Jon Jones at UFC 94.
Since emerging from the inaugural season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Bonnar has gone 5-5 in the Octagon.
Well, here’s the good part. Neither of these two are going to take this thing to the ground. They are going to slug it out. It ends one of two ways. Either one of them gets put down, or it’s a sloppy fight that ends in a decision.
How is Stephan Bonnar still employed? How much more goodwill can he have from The Ultimate Fighter One finale? Since entering the UFC, he’s 5-5, not to mention that whole thing where he was suspended for taking horse steroids. We’ve talked before about how he should be cut, but if he loses this one it really has to be over.
