UFC 116: Stephan Bonnar vs Krzysztof Soszynski rematch set for July 3 in Las Vegas

Ept_sports_mma_experts-342031138-1266738038_medium_medium_medium

Former Ultimate Fighters Stephan Bonnar (11-7) and Krzysztof Soszynski (19-9-1) will finally get a chance to settle some unfinished business when the two light heavyweights collide in a rematch at UFC 116: "Lesnar vs. Carwin," which is scheduled for July 3 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Bonnar wasn't happy with the TKO loss he suffered at the hands (or head) of "The Polish Experiment" when the pair threw leather at February's UFC 110 event from the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia.

"The American Psycho" blames referee John Sharp for missing an inadvertent headbutt that busted him open in the third round of their 205-pound war, causing Bonnar to leak all over himself, Soszynski and the better part of the Octagon floor.

He recently lost his appeal to have the ruling reversed to a technical draw based on the nature of the stoppage.

Star-divide

Soszynski has been gracious throughout the ordeal and like Bonnar, wants his win to come from being the better fighter, which he may get the chance to prove (again) when the July 3 rematch comes to fruition.

While UFC President Dana White has already gone on record about keeping Bonnar on the payroll, the once formidable contender still has a lot to lose after dropping three straight bouts.

Conversely, Soszynski has won four out of five since his UFC debut in December of 2008 and could continue his rise through the light heavyweight ranks if he can finish what he started back in February.

Expect another war from these two.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

Hey i guess he really wants an 11-8 record.

I guess let him them $$$$, but i still don’t like that he ruins shows like MMA Live with his lack of personality and general insight(nonsense like….talking about Florian won rounds against BJ…etc)

Oh, yes, Meg, yes-yes yes, everything was going swimmingly for you until this. Yes, yes, THIS is the thing that will ruin your reputation, not your years of grotesque appearance, or your awkward social graces, or that Felix Ungerish way you clear your sinuses, no no no, it's THIS. Do you hear yourself talk? I might kill you tonight.

the american cycle...

Will be around the ufc as long as he wants,I’d imagine,just like forrest. I actually think he does a good job on mma live/commentating. He usually has differing opinions that are interesting,though some find them somewhat ridiculous (I.e. Florian winning the bj fight before being rnc’d)

You just get that sucker to the designated place at the designated time, and I will gladly designate his ass... for DISMEMBERMENT!
