That's why you have to love MMA, Pat Curran was being outclassed on the feet and then landed a beautiful head kick, crazy!

It'd be sweet if somehow Koscheck vs Bonnar could happen so Bonnar could destroy him.

Bonnar is probably the worst fighter on the UFC roster. If he could make 185(he can't), Koscheck beats him.

whoa, no love for Bonnar! Bonnar has only lost to current or former champions outside of the fight with Sosznski which he avenged with a tko. He is tough as nails and always brings it, kinda guy I want to see fight.

Calling his loss to Coleman as "against a former champ" is a nice way to frame it.

I love Bonnar as a person (think he's funny) and the way he brings it, but he is not all that great of a fighter.

I agree he is never going to be champ but I wouldn't say he is the worst on the roster.

I'm not sure what this means but okay.

Anyway, how do you see him beating Koscheck?

Not so much that he would beat Koscheck, but rather that you think Bonnar is the worst fighter on the UFC Roster...thats just ridiculous. If this fight happens I could bet that it goes the distance and I say a toss up!

He has 13 fights in the UFC LHW division, and a fight with a WW would be "a toss up." Enough said.

There are probably some guys who get a fight or two in the organization that are worse than him, but to have that many fights and have never been even close to relevant in the division makes him the biggest waste of space at least.

Bonner beats Koscheck on size alone, Bonner is a big 205, Koscheck isn't even huge for 170. I read once that Bonnar walks around between 235-240, Koscheck walks around at about 190.

So while their weight classes are only 35 lbs apart, they really walk around nearly 50 lbs difference. Bigger/stronger is a HUGE advantage at this level of the MMA game.
