MMA megastar Conor McGregor has paid a touching tribute to late UFC legend Stephan Bonnar.
The former UFC two-division champion took to social media as he posted a touching tribute to the 'Original Ultimate Fighter'.
The UFC Hall of Famer passed away in December after apparent heart complications. He was 45.
A true legend in the world of mixed martial arts, “The American Psycho” served as one-half of what many credit as the most important fight in MMA history.
Even though Bonnar lost that bout at the 'TUF 1 Finale' against Forrest Griffin in April 2005, its impact was huge on the sport as it single handily turned around a then-struggling UFC.

The bout was inducted into the The UFC Hall of Fame in 2013.
Bonnar fought 26 times as a professional, and fought 15 times with the UFC, with one for Bellator. He made his pro debut in 2001.
Dana White and the UFC honoured Bonnar with Celebration of Life ceremony for ' The Ultimate Fighter 1' finalist at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas last Sunday.
AND so did 'The Notorious' who is currently in the fight capital of the world as he records season 31 of the promotion's reality series with Michael Chandler.
The Dublin ace is currently coaching on this season's TUF series before his UFC comeback against American Chandler later in the calendar with a date, weight-class and venue TBA.
He posted a picture along with a touching caption that read: "Stephan Bonnar. The original “Ultimate Fighter!” ????
'Notorious' hasn't fought since breaking his leg in the Trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier in 2021.
