Stephan Bonnar is not fighting on the UFC 53 card. He did accept a fight sometime in the near future, but it was not for 53. His girlfriend posted about it on the TUF forums, so she's a reliable source.

Buentello KOs Eilers, yet Eilers gets the title shot.

Yeah, I simply cant understand that!
AA-Buentello without the belt will be better!
The card look very weak compare to the last 2 ones!

Andrei, Quarry and Forrest make it interesting, but it isn`t exactly a jaw-dropping line up just yet.

Yeah, but Bonnar's not on the card either! lol!
I heard Terrell was off due to injury, but I know he's also been accepted into this year's ADCC tournament - so maybe that was the real reason...

It is a shamce UFC haven`t ridden the wave with the TUF finals and UFC 52. A third great event would have gone down well....
