SOSZYNSKI CAME OUT
READY TO BANG!
In what could have been the fight of the night, Krzysztof Soszynski and Stephan Bonnar showed each other no mercy in a bloody stand up war. The bout was stopped in the third round due to a cut on Bonnar's forehead (shaped in the letter "K"!)

The rematch is set for July 3rd, 2010 at UFC 116 in Las Vegas, NV
Krzysztof Soszynski has become known for accepting fights on short notice and being quite successful in doing so.
Case in point: Soszynski stepped in on short notice twice for the UFC in 2009. First, "The Polish Experiment" took on Andre Gusmao at UFC 98 and won via first round knockout. Click here to continue article.

UFC 97: REDEMPTION
KSOS DEFEATS BRIAN STANN IN THE FIRST ROUND VIA KIMURA EARNING HIM SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT!!!
Kzysztof facing off with UFC 97 opponent Brian Stann.
Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
April 2009.
Krzysztof facing off with opponent Shane Primm at The Palms for The Ultimate Fighter Finale weigh ins December 12, 2008.
This was Krzysztof's eighth fight as a light heavyweight (including his fights on The Ultimate Fighter) and had no problems weighing in at 205lbs.
Krzysztof started his career as a heavyweight and had fought some tough competition including UFC veterans Mike Whitehead and Dan Christison. However, after his last fight with the International Fight League (IFL) Soszynski decided it was time for a change.
In April 2008, KSOS heard the UFC was getting ready to tape season 8 of 'The Ultimate Fighter' and felt it was time to make his UFC dream a reality. You can read more about Krzysztof's experiences on 'The Ultimate Fighter' by clicking on the link below.
KSOS VS BRANDON VERA
WATCH THE FIGHT NOW
KSOS showed tremendous heart and showed us that he can stand with the best of them. He lost to a decision but is determined to come back stronger and harder next time. "I just wasn't myself" said a disappointed Soszynski after the fight.
KSOS will have elbow surgery in October but will be back in the gym as soon as he can.

Soszynski (19-8-1) faces his toughest opponent yet at UFC 102 and will square off against Brandon 'The Truth' Vera (10-3). KSOS was offered the fight after Matt Hamill pulled out due to an injury. Krzysztof gladly accepted the fight and is excited for the opportunity.
KO Makes It 3-0
Soszynski impresses fans with another UFC victory! With only 3 weeks to prepare for his third UFC fight, KSOS demonstrated he was more than ready to rock with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Blackbelt Andre Gusmao.
The fight had the two on their feet from start to finish until KSOS landed a devestating left straight followed by a right hook knocking out Gusmao. Soszynski landed two more punches before referee Herb Dean called a stop to the fight.
Soszynski is one happy man!!!
KSOS walked out with a huge smile on his face Saturday night at the Bell Center for UFC 97 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Who could blame him?!?! He had the entire arena cheering him on as he rocked out to System of a Down's song Radio/Video. Soszynski entered the octagon and made his way over to opponent Brian Stann giving him a hug and saying: 'This is awesome!!!'.
Even more awesome was the Kimura finish in the first round. This is one of Krzysztof's favorite submissions and he proved why once again. KSOS walked away with an impressive bonus for submission of the night.
