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

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.
