Stephan Bonnar becomes the 10th UFC Hall of Famer to go into pro wrestling

UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar will be the latest of many to take the path of MMA headliner to pro wrestler when he makes his debut in August.

Bonnar will be a 40-year-old rookie in his new endeavor, when he debuts in the main event of a show called "High Intensity 6" on Aug. 18 at the NYC Arena in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, N.Y., for the House of Glory wrestling promotion. Bonnar will be facing Matt Riddle, another former UFC star who was the 2016 pro wrestling Rookie of the Year and one of the most talked about newcomers to enter American pro wrestling in years.
