Over the weekend, CSAC Executive Officer GEORGE DODD says UFC Middleweight, CHAEL SONNEN was informed he tested positive for performance enhancing drugs after results came in from his UFC 117 post fight drug test. Sonnen put in a stellar performance dominating Middleweight Champion, ANDERSON SILVA for almost five rounds before losing to Silva via triangle choke. Though Sonnen took the official loss, he impressed thousands of spectators within Oakland’s Oracle Arena as well as close to a million PPV buyers. Anderson Silva was so taken by the beating handed to him by Sonnen, that he himself got down on his knees and rested his Middleweight Championship belt before him.
All of the glory may have been robbed from Chael Sonnen’s hard-working fight to leave us with a bad taste in our mouth. I hear that’s a side effect from steroids. Chael Sonnen may now just be an embarrassment to himself and to the MMA sport as news of his PED tests will add to the fodder that this sport may not be legit.
Chael Sonnen boasted prior to UFC 117 that it would be Anderson Silva’s final performance in the UFC promotion…well, Sonnen, looks like it may be yours.
