Don't think that was a work, Bonnar looked tenative and scared as though he was expecting some type of crane-kick from Anderson. IMO, if it were a work, we'd have seen more grappling early on, that's where they can make things look more realistic and drag the fight out, if one were looking to put on a "worked-shoot".
Also, while Bonnar's never been truly "finished" before, it's not like he's been fighting top flight competition these past few years(aside from a young Bones) and prior to tonight, in his last ten fights, he's 5-5. Bonnar has the right to retire, but he's still a damn great gatekeeper at 205 if he chooses.

I'm still laughing at anyone who thought Bonnar could work Silva.
Every fight you hear the same stuff. Fighter x has what it takes to challenge Anderson and it never happens.

I hate to think that it might have been the last time we see Bonnar...
That being said...one more time?
Griffin vs Bonnar
