Bonnar, a light heavyweight fighter, steps into the Octagon as one of the biggest underdogs in MMA history and some are saying the fight will be a massacre.
"The UFC was very generous in this fight because it's so close to Halloween," said Multiple time world jiu-jitsu champion Renato Laranja, according to Opposing Views. "I think it's good that they put it close to there because I think it's gonna be a blood bath. It's gonna be like a massacre. You gonna watch a guy just to get his face beat up. That's OK. Every once in a while, you gotta throw the fans a bone."
Bonnar himself has admitted he is somewhat scared but he has promised to make it a difficult fight for the world's number one pound-for-pound fighter, "the Spider."
"I am going to be going through hell and he's coming with me," he said, according to MMA Fighting.
