Stephan Bonnar, a former contestant in TUF 1, has had some bad luck inside the Octagon as of late. In his last outing, he engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Krzysztof Soszynski, but ended up losing in the third round after an accidental headbutt opened a severe cut on Bonnar’s forehead.

The loss was his third in a row. However, Bonnar is looking to appeal the decision.

“It’s only fair to get this overturned to a no contest or draw,” Bonnar told the NWI Times. “In the rules, if after two rounds a fighter suffers a cut from an illegal blow, they go to the scorecard. The judges had it one round a piece, which would have made it a draw.

Right after (it) happened, I pointed to my head and told him, ‘Head butt.’ Why he didn’t look up at the replay, which they showed about 30 times, I have no idea.”

Bonnar has certainly made a good case to have the loss overturned. Regardless of the outcome from his appeal, it is likely he will get a rematch with Soszynski in the near future.
