Bonnar’s Martial Arts

Jake RossenJul 27, 2009

UFC contender Stephan Bonnar told MMAJunkie that he’s started a premium lithograph company that specializes in fight art prints. This in case you have an extra bit of empty wall next to your giant deer head.

It’s a testament to the goodwill engendered by Bonnar’s performance at “The Ultimate Fighter” finale in 2005 -- widely credited to be a lightning rod for the Zuffa-era UFC -- that he was able to navigate their notoriously severe brand protection and get their approval. At present, four prints --- homage to Georges St. Pierre, Chuck Liddell, Brock Lesnar and Bonnar’s fight with Forrest Griffin -- are available for $125 each. If you’d like the original painting, you’ll have to expectorate $15,000 from your savings account.

Best of luck to Bonnar. If MMA needed its own Thomas Kinkade, by God, it’s about to get it.
