Stephan Bonnar Talks UFC 153 Loss, Possible Injury
By Chris Leslie on October 16, 2012
UFC light heavyweight Stephan Bonnar took to twitter to explain the events surrounding the TKO loss to UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Bonnar says that he was “paralyzed” by the knee Silva landed just before the referee stepped in, but he was not injured. Bonnar was rushed home on the UFC’s private jet after the fight for the birth of his first child.
Thanks to everyone for the support, I’m so sorry I lost. I feel so bad for letting my fans down, but I promise to make it up to you.

Not injured, just caught with a perfect knee to the solar plex and it paralyzed me, was just getting movement back when fight was stopped.
