Earlier in an interview with MMA fighting, Bonnar stated “I knew something wasnโt right,” before saying “I knew this shouldnโt be getting this much worse. I feel 10 times worse and itโs been 10 days later. So yeah, I really wish it didnโt come to that.”
During his stay at the hospital, Stephan had lost more than 36 pounds and he was even unable to walk without assistance.ย Bonnar, UFC Hall of Famer, died Thursday, December 22 of presumed heart complications while at work, according to the UFC.
