Stephan Bonnar Slated to Return at UFC 94

Stephan Bonnar UFC

Healthy again after a knee injury forced him to withdraw from an April match against Matt Hamill, TUF 1 finalist Stephan Bonnar is set to return to the Octagon for the first time since last October. Five Ounces reports that the American Psycho will likely face Team Bomb Squad's Jon Jones at UFC 94 (January 31st, Las Vegas). Jones began his professional MMA career in April of this year, and racked up six straight victories, including a unanimous decision over Andre Gusmao in his August UFC debut. With his amateur wrestling background and unconventional striking, Jones may prove to be a tough welcome-back fight for the newly-rehabbed Bonnar. UFC 94 will be headlined by the welterweight fight between Georges St. Pierre and BJ Penn.

In other UFC fight-booking news...

— TUF 7 finalist CB Dollaway (7-1, 1-1 UFC) will be making his third appearance in the Octagon on December 27th, as he'll be facing Mike Massenzio at UFC 92. Dollaway is coming off his "Peruvian Necktie" submission of Jesse Taylor at UFC Fight Night 14 in July, while Massenzio is coming off his successful UFC debut last month at UFC Fight Night 15, where he caught Drew McFedries in a kimura early in the first round.

— Speaking of McFedries, the Miletich fighter will be stepping in to face Thales Leites at UFC 90 (October 25th, Chicago), replacing undefeated Croatian fighter Goran Reljic, who recently had to withdraw from the fight due to a back injury.

"CB Dollaway (7-1, 1-1 UFC) will be making his third appearance in the Octagon on December 27th"

What is up with this tap happy Douche getting all this cage time? C'mon Dana, dont you know everone hates this prick?

*sigh

I hope he gets choked out in the 1st minute of the 1st round.

Corn Relish had a good fight. I can't wait til he's healthy again

Bonnar- Yeah! It's good to have the Psycho back.

CB- Shouldn't it be 7-2 (1-2) The first Sadollah fight was a 3 rounder, too.

McFederies- Meh.

Glad to see Bonnar make a return. ^^^Fenix is totally on the money about Dollaway. At least it's fun to watch him lose. He's right there w/ Tommy Speer as far as camera-hype/cage-fail scenarios go.

Launchpad is going to be tapping during the intros.
