UFC 116 Results: Stephan Bonnar Redeems Himself and Knocks Out Krzysztof Soszynski

by Mike Fagan on Jul 3, 2010 10:56 PM EDT in MMA Events

Stephan Bonnar may have been fighting for his UFC career, and he fought to save it.

Bonnar and Krzysztof Soszynski fought at UFC 110 in Australia. The bout ended early after an accidental headbutt was ruled a legal strike by the referee, giving Soszynski a controversial TKO.

Bonnar redeemed himself tonight, brawling with the Canadian through two rounds before finally dropping Soszynski with a knee.

The fight will draw comparisons to Bonnar's epic battle with Forrest Griffin at the inaugural Ultimate Fighter finale. Bonnar and Soszynski fought a wild, sloppy brawl that brought the crowd to life throughout the fight.

Bonnar appeared very emotional in the post-fight interview, thanking his family, friends, fans, and Joe Rogan.

Good for Bonnar...

he’s had a tough road lately and its good to see him get a win.

Dude. It's Anderson Silva.
If he gives a damn he will end Sonnen’s night by either sub or KO.

I watched

that EPIC Griffin-Bonnar fight in the first Ultimate Fighter finale and have been a fan of those guys ever since. That is still the best fight from the start to finish I have watched. I’m glad Bonnar got a win tonight.

War American Psycho he got the short end in the last fight, so it was good to see him focused and ready in the rematch.

Banhammer please.

Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.

Bravo Bonner.

I lost 10 bucks at the bar on even odds.

That was a hell of a fun fight, and card in general. Congrats to Bonnar. Still ate a ton of shots, but he looked crisper on his feet than he has in a while.
