Light-heavyweights Stephan Bonnar and Krzysztof Soszynski have verbally agreed to face each other at UFC 110 in February. News of the bout was first reported by MMAWeekly.com.
Bonnar (11-6) is coming off of a disappointing loss to Mark Coleman at UFC 100 in July. The loss was his second straight, as he previously lost to rising contender Jon Jones at UFC 94 in January.
TUF 1 light-heavyweight runner-up has put together an even 5-5 record in 10 fights with the UFC, scoring notable Octagon wins over the likes of James Irvin, Keith Jardine and Eric Schafer; while suffering notable UFC losses to Rashad Evans and Forrest Griffin (x2). He has finished nine of his 11 career wins, including seven coming by submission.
Soszynski (18-9-1) was handed his first UFC loss in his last bout, when he was defeated by Brandon Vera at UFC 102 in August. Prior to the loss, he had won six straight fights, including wins in his first three fights in the UFC over Shane Primm, Brian Stann and Andre Gusmao. Two of his three Octagon wins have earned him "submission of the night" honors.
Soszynski has fought for other notable promotions during his six year-career, such as TKO, IFL, Strikeforce, and HDNET fights. He has scored stoppage wins in all but one of his 18 career victories and holds notable career wins over the likes of Icho Larenas, Devin Cole and Alex Andrade.
UFC 110 event is expected to take place on Feb. 21 at the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia. The event is rumored to be headlined by a middleweight bout between Yoshihiro Akiyama and Wanderlei Silva. In addition, heavyweight sluggers Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic and Ben Rothwell are also slated to meet at the event.
