Stephan Patrick Bonnar is an American mixed martial arts fighter who currently competes for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He is best known for being the runner up on season 1 of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV, a reality show which showcases mixed martial arts. Bonnar currently trains at the Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas. “I felt like I was in the 'Twilight Zone' during the first fight,” recalls Bonnar, who was competitive with Soszynski throughout. “The head-butt happened right in front of the referee (John Sharp), and I pointed it out to the referee when I felt the head land and open up my cut. He saw it all play out in front of him. I shouted out 'head-butt, head-butt', just so that the referee knew exactly what had happened. There was surely no way he could have misinterpreted what had happened, as both his eyes and ears knew the score.
Bonnar will always remembered for his part in the pivotal finale of the first season of "The Ultimate Fighter." Along with the winner of the bout, Forrest Griffin, Bonnar put on an exciting, three-round battle on basic cable, helping launch the UFC to the heights the promotion is at now.
