Why would someone hate them that much?

I don’t like Bonnar very much, but he’s not that bad and a respect him as a person.
What the hell did Straka do to make someone say so crazy shit to him? People are crazy.

At this point

I hope he’s taking something, cause he’ll never be cut from the UFC.

I’ve watched that Griffin/Bonnar 1 fight a lot and to me Bonnar’s the clear winner.

Agreed

Bonnar won the first match in my eyes. He just never progressed or evolved as a fighter. Atleast not as much as forrest did..

When I think of Stephan Bonnar, I think of

1. His fight with Forrest, of course;
2. His discussion with Diego Sanchez about what asparagus is;
3. His fight with Mike Nickels and;
4. His awful commentating. Good acting by Straka. I like Bonnar more than Mir and even I will admit that Mir is a better commentator.

I can’t believe people actually hate Bonnar. Comeon, people.

I like Straka’s interviews but I was hoping for something more with this one. He could only work with what Bonnar was giving him.
