Bonnar wants to bea coach for next tuf season against Forrest.

He wants a 5 rounder at the end of the season with him. i actually would love to see that. i know this fight doesnt gain much in the way of climbing the ladder to the top but i think it will get much better ratings than faber and cruz. I actually think bonnar would TKo forrest this time around too. these guys have a great brawling history and TUF live is in shambles i say why not. After all these guys fighting each other brought in a whole new crop of UFC fans, who's to say thety cant do it again?

HATE

they both would be good coaches with all that experience and wisdom about success and failure. and the fight would be a brawl, so, why not?

No.

There's no rivalry there anymore. Where's the story?
Forrest- while not a title contender- has fought the best of the best in the division.
Who has Bonnar fought or beat? Igor Pocrai-whatever? Kryzstof Sossinska-whatever?

I get it that they are both quote/unquote "personalities", but there is zero selling point as it pertains to a coaching rivalry or divisional relevance.

It's a novel idea, but the idea is all there is.

That Was Jones second fight in the UFC and his first fight was a decision as well it was also 3.5 years ago and not to mention Bonnar goes the distance with everybody. Having a rock hard head doesnt make him a main eventer lol.

I actually think Bonnar would stop Forrest this time around as Forrest's chin has degraded and Bonnar's still seems granite, but I just have no interest in seeing it.

I agree with Trigger...it's meh in my eyes. I agree also that there's no "rivalry" between these two. They did it once and it was a pivitol fight for the UFC...they did it again and rightfully so...because the first was a pivitol fight for the UFC. But 3 times? Why? I think at this point it's starting to look like "let's see who we can find to TKO Forrest..."

And the 2nd fight was horrible.

Meh .... why not? The show would be entertaining but Bonnar and Forrest again.... sure but only if its free. Bonnar needs something to stay relevant.
