Cast member of “The Ultimate Fighter” and 11-time UFC veteran Stephan
Bonnar will take over for former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir in
the the “WEC 47: Bowles vs. Cruz” commentating booth this weekend.
MMAjunkie.com today confirmed the change to the Versus broadcast team with WEC officials.
Mir is understandably busy as he prepares for a UFC 111 interim title
fight with Shane Carwin, which led to the change. WEC officials
insisted that Mir’s recent controversial statements regarding Brock
Lesnar – and subsequent apology – had nothing to do with the change.
