I'm devastated. Jason David frank. Anthony Johnson and now bonnar. This one really hurt me man. He and Forrest made UFC what it is

Sad to hear, seems like his life really went off the rails after he retired from fighting.

Condolences to his family.

Wow news hit hard, Bonnar is partly responsible for the ufc blowing up like it did...so the mma world is feeling it now


Still so young, yea he was into booze but I didn't see him perishing so quickly. How did it happen? so many people passing away and whenever you have any questions, you get silenced and censored.

He was into a lot, but he deserved better than this.

RIP Bonnar not one of the greats, but legendary due to TUF.

TUF 1 finalist and "one of the most important fighters to ever compete in the octagon."

Really saddened to hear this news although Stephen was never one of my fave fighters I know what he meant to mma in bringing it to a global market with that epic fight with Forrest Griffith.
You will be missed but your mark in the sport will forever live on, rip my friend.

Just saw this on Twitter and some guy has posted about Elias Theodorou dying this year. WTF I didn't even know not checking forums at that time when this happened.

 

[iNoScopedJFK]

Holy shit this stung more than I would have imagined. The American Psycho. He was so important to my interest in MMA as a TUF noob. Rip... I can't even this fucking sucks.

 

[Big Al's Texas BBQ]

Damn did not see that coming… hopefully it was natural causes and not a result of his issues

Natural causes? The guy was only 45.

 

[markantony20]

This year has been the worst!!

First Elias, then Rumble, now Stephan.

Just awful.

 

[jenst]

Smart, good looking and the heart of a lion. But you can't force the mind.

His legacy in MMA is undeniable.

 

[Bushpig]

RIP too soon.

I guess working as a bouncer at Vegas strip clubs will take years away from you.

So Sad, only 45. Thanks for all the fights Stephan
