LOS ANGELES – One-time UFC middleweight title contender Chael Sonnen will not be competing in the octagon anytime soon.
The California State Athletic Commission today ruled to uphold Sonnen’s
indefinite suspension, citing both a recent federal money-laundering
conviction, as well as some questionable testimony following a positive
result in a post-UFC 117 drug screen.
The CSAC made its ruling during today’s special meeting, which took
place at the Ronald Reagan State Office Building in Los Angeles.
The motion passed with a vote of 4-1.
