UFC's Stephan Bonnar steps in for Frank Mir in WEC 47 commentator role 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. Mir is expected to return to the booth for April's "WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber," which marks the WEC's first time on pay-per-view. Bonnar has some previous broadcasting experience as a guest host of ESPN.com's "MMA Live" program, and he previously worked as a color commentator during the UFC's pay-per-view broadcast of UFC 59. Featuring a bantamweight title fight between current champ Brian Bowles and top contender Dominick Cruz, WEC 47 takes place March 6 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The full lineup includes: MAIN CARD * Champ Brian Bowles vs. Dominick Cruz (for bantamweight title) * Joseph Benavidez vs. Miguel Torres * Jens Pulver vs. Javier Vazquez * L.C. Davis vs. Deividas Taurosevicius * Karen Darabedyan vs. Bart Palaszewski PRELIMINARY CARD * Chad George vs. Scott Jorgensen * Erik Koch vs. Chad Mendes * Danny Castillo vs. Anthony Pettis * Leonard Garcia vs. George Roop * Bendy Casimir vs. Ricardo Lamas * Courtney Buck vs. Fredson Paixao Source: http://mmajunkie.com/news/18167/stephan ... r-role.mma |

Awesome, I don't think much of Bonnar as a fighter, but he is a cool guy. |

controversial comments had nothing to do with the change... ... .... ... .... ... .... but the'yre very happy he is in training as they want him to keep his fat liability of a mouth head down for a while... dont forget on the last WEC Mir said 'fuck' whilst commentating....amateur... |

Might be good for Frank to get some time off and concentrate on his training camp. I dont dislike him as a commentator and I must say I have heard Joe say the f word a couple of times even if he usually is really fast and stops after the fuh.. and says freaking or something. Thats a pro!
