UFC.com has released the first official video preview for the upcoming UFC 15, set to feature Anderson Silva vs. Stephan Bonnar from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The bout is somewhat controversial in the sencse that many don’t believe Bonnar is worthy of a shot at the dominant Silva, but it could provide an interesting bout for the fans.
