Since his April 2005 slugfest with Forrest Griffin, a fight which helped launch the UFC to its current place in the sports landscape, Stephan Bonnar has been a consistent crowd favorite.

In January, Bonnar returned from a serious knee injury, but dropped a decision to top prospect Jon Jones. Now, he looks to get back into the win column at July's UFC 100, and will have to do so against UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman.

Bonnar recently took some time to speak to FanHouse about his "lifetime contract" with UFC, what Coleman has left in the tank at age 44, and how he plans to beat "the Hammer."

UFC to Induct Two New Members of Hall Of Fame on UFC 100 Weekend

Two new names will be added to the short list of those inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on July 10 as part of UFC's Fan Expo during UFC 100 weekend.

To date, only five have earned the honor: Ken Shamrock, Royce Gracie, Dan Severn, Randy Couture and Mark Coleman.

The UFC has not released the names of the new inductees, but if I were to venture a guess, I would think that former UFC light-heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell is a lock for one of the slots. While Liddell has not officially retired (he's currently on vacation), UFC President Dana White has repeatedly stated "the Iceman" is done in the octagon.

UFC 97: Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua Vows He'll Be in Shape vs. Chuck Liddell

The last time we saw Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, he dominated Mark Coleman in the early going of their fight at UFC 93, only to run out of gas and struggle mightily to put Coleman away. That left a lot of viewers thinking Rua wasn't in good enough shape, and on a call Tuesday to promote his UFC 97 fight with Chuck Liddell, Rua confessed that he wasn't.

UFC 93 Morning After: Let's Hear It for Dan Henderson

After the 1996 Olympics, Dan Henderson was a world-class athlete looking for a way to make a living. He had just competed in Greco-Roman wrestling in Atlanta, and he knew he wasn't ready to retire as an athlete at age 26, but he also knew there was no professional Greco-Roman wrestling circuit.

So he decided to take a shot at mixed martial arts, a sport so obscure that when he told people he was doing it, most didn't know what it was. Even those who had heard of it were only vaguely aware of what it was; some people called it Ultimate Fighting, some called it vale tudo, some called it no holds barred, and some called it savagery unfit for an Olympian.

But Henderson entered the Brazil Open in 1997, and that began an MMA career that has seen him fight professionally on four continents, and an MMA career that continued on Saturday with his victory over Rich Franklin in the main event at UFC 93.

UFC 93: Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua TKOs Mark Coleman

The long-awaited rematch between Mark Coleman and Shogun Rua ended with Rua winning a strange, slow-paced third-round TKO today at UFC 93 in Dublin.

Coleman had previously handed Rua his only loss in 13 Pride fights, beating him by TKO in 2006 when Rua suffered a nasty dislocation of his elbow and couldn't continue.

This time, Rua got a measure of revenge, but he didn't look particularly impressive in the process. He dominated the fight, but it looked more like Coleman was old and slow than like Rua was whipping a good opponent. At the end of the first round, Coleman looked like he was ripe for being finished, but it took Rua until the last minute of the third round before he finally ended it.
