Stephan Bonnar
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Stephan Patrick "The American Psycho" Bonnar, born April 4, 1977 in Hammond, Indiana, is an American mixed martial arts fighter. He is best known for his appearance on season 1 of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV, a reality show which showcases mixed martial arts.

Due to his strong performance in the light-heavyweight finals, where he lost a razor-thin decision against Griffin by unanimous decision (29-28), Bonnar was awarded a contract to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Bonnar's MMA record is 11-7-0 as of December, 2007. He trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the legendary Carlson Gracie, under whom he received his purple belt before Carlson's passing. This experience has led to most of his bouts ending by way of submission. However, he is also a former Chicago Golden Gloves boxer and has trained in Muay Thai during several trips to Thailand.

After his loss to Griffin, Bonnar became the staple of the regular UFC Ultimate Fight Night shows at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, defeating such notables as Sam Hoger, James Irvin and Keith Jardine before succumbing to Rashad Evans by way of majority decision.
