In a blockbuster development that will have far-reaching ramifications for both the way we view one of the biggest fights of 2010 and the potential for a rematch of that fight in 2011, Chael Sonnen has reportedly been informed that he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs after his loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 117.
Sonnen will presumably be suspended, and a second middleweight title fight between Sonnen and Silva — which undoubtedly would have been among the biggest fights for the UFC next year — may need to be scrapped.
“[Sonnen] received his notice yesterday,” California State Athletic Commission Executive Officer George Dodd told Sherdog.com.
