After a costly point deduction due to a questionable low-blow foul, Roop’s would-be [...] Former Ultimate Fighters Stephan Bonnar (11-7) and Krzysztof Soszynski (19-9-1) will likely get a chance to settle some unfinished business when the two light heavyweights collide in a rematch at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 11 Finale, which is scheduled for June 19 in Las Vegas.
