Stephan Bonnar gets his second chance! He is scheduled to return to UFC this July after his controversial seven-month suspension due to his intake of steroids.
Many athletes have resorted to the use of steroids, which often lead to muscle growth. But the intake of such controlled substance comes with a lot of risks, which can be hazardous to the health. This is also the reason why steroids are banned by all major sporting bodies like the Olympics, NBA, FIFA and UFC.
In the case of Bonnar, the mixed martial arts fighter has admittedly took the steroids because of his distressing elbow injury after his defeat in his fight with Forrest Griffin last August. Desperate to relieve the pain, speed up the healing process, and to fight in the main event back then, he has resorted to steroids but has been caught positive according to tests. This has resulted to his immediate suspension.
Following his temporary exclusion on UFC, Bonnar has lost several sponsors and has been anxiously worried about UFC kicking him out for good. But according to UFC president Dana White, doors are still open for Bonnar. In fact, he is pleased with his return and welcomes him, as he deserves a second chance.
Bonnar will prove his worth again in a fight against Mile Nickels at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California on July 7,2007. According to Bonnar, he has been planning for his return for some time now, making the most out of his 7-month suspension. He has had two surgeries and has now restored his physique. Meanwhile, he spends his time training and getting ready for his much-awaited fight and return to UFC.
Bonar, a 30-year old mixed martial arts fighter, is also known as "The American Psycho." He stands 6’3 in height and holds a record of 12-3-0.
