Stephan Bonnar’s match at the end of The Ultimate Fighter helped put the UFC on the map. > **[UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar Dies at 45](https://www.si.com/.amp/mma/2022/12/25/ufc-hall-of-famer-stephan-bonnar-dies-at-45)** > > The organization announced the news of the former light heavyweight star’s passing Saturday night. It’s fun poking at the trolls in comments on this story. Just like every celebrity death Quidiots are attributing it to the vaccine. Bonnar was a pretty vocal anti-vaxxer. Tragically it’s probably his opioid use that contributed. He had many injuries and many operations so no doubt his pain was real. ---
