Matt Lindland says training partner Chael Sonnen is finally paying attention

Matt Lindland, 39, considers Chael Sonnen a friend and brother as well as a training partner.
 
The two middleweights have sweat and bled together for many years,
beginning in the days when Team Quest was a used-car lot with a gym in
the back.

While Lindland has shared in Sonnen’s successes, he –
along with many fans – has also seen his friend fall short of his
potential and lose out on several opportunities. At this past Saturday’s UFC 109 event, that finally changed.
