Stephan Bonnar shows off his new line of MMA t-shirts, "Trash Talking Kids", although the Josh Koscheck edition he's modeling won't be for sale: "Not in my division, but overall probably Koscheck," Bonnar said when asked who rubbed him the wrong way. "Mainly because I started a new t-shirt line called Trash Talking Kids, kinda a parody of the old Garbage Pail Kids from the 80's except with UFC fighters. He actually inspired the idea, he talks so much s**t in the Daley fight and after the fight. The whole time I see Koscheck talking s**t to him on the ground, I thought it was hilarious and I was carrying on about it. "Since then we made a whole bunch more. He got wind of it and he didn't like it and I tried to explain it to him firsthand. 'Like, look we're doing them for all the fighters. It's kinda a joke, just cartoon versions of the fighters.' His version is called Josh Koshbygosh and he kinda looks like a Cabbage Patch doll, because he really does. Anyway, so he didn't like it. Turns out we won't be able to sell his but we will be able to sell the other ones. I didn't think his was gonna sell too much anyway. We're getting hit up his lawyers at the moment, it's been a pain in the ass. So if anyone rubs me the wrong way, it'll be Koscheck for sicking his lawyers on me. I would drop a lot of weight to fight him." Via Five Knuckles

Stephan Bonnar loses UFC 110 appeal: "A review was held ... and the Combat Sports Authority of NSW did not seek to interfere with the referee's decision," wrote Craig Waller, the Combat Sports Authority's executive director. The light heavyweight bout came to a halt early in the third round when an accidental clash of heads opened a huge cut on Bonnar's forehead. According to multiple reports, Bonnar [and Soszynski] will meet for a second time at "The Ultimate Fighter 11" finale on June 19 in Las Vegas.

Stephan Bonnar to contest UFC 110 loss: "It's only fair to get this overturned to a no contest or draw," Bonnar said. "In the rules, if after two rounds a fighter suffers a cut from an illegal blow, they go to the scorecard. The judges had it one round a piece, which would have made it a draw." "Right after (it) happened, I pointed to my head and told him, 'Head butt,'" Bonnar said. "Why he didn't look up at the replay, which they showed about 30 times, I have no idea." "Dana White just told me it was a great fight and sorry I got screwed like that," Bonnar said. "I have never been wronged so bad in a situation that was so obvious," he said. "I still can't understand the referee. Yes, I will appeal this decision. I just want what is fair." HT: nwitimes.com (via fightersonlymagazine.co.uk) UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez coverage
