The UFC announced this week a light heavyweight showdown between Ultimate Fighter alum Stephan Bonnar and Czech wrestling champion Karlos Vemola at UFC on Versus 5 expected on August 14.
Bonnar, now an established UFC veteran, is coming off of consecutive victories over Krzysztof Soszynski and Igor Pokrajac.
A former heavyweight, Vemola is coming off of a very impressive light heavyweight debut in which he TKOd Seth Petruzelli in the first round and picked up “knockout of the night” honors.
Both durable fighters, Vemola has never been stopped, and Bonnar has only been stopped due to cuts.
Held at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, UFC on Versus 5 will host a number of other notable fighters including Jim Miller, Ben Henderson, Dan Hardy, Chris Lytle, Amir Sadollah and others.
The event will be the UFC’s first in Wisconsin.
