Stephan Bonnar explains hospital meltdown, plans to get a ‘real job’ after spinal staph infection

The last time we saw Stephan Bonnar was during a troubling meltdown he went through at a Las Vegas hospital. The TUF 1 runner-up posted videos of himself during the incident, berating hospital staff and responding police officers.

Seeing the videos on their own makes it easy to cast judgment and form theories. What we all didn’t know were the severe health issues he was dealing with, stemming from the fractured vertebrae he sustained from a recent professional wrestling match.

The 44-year-old sat down with MMA Fighting this week to give an update on his condition since then.
