("Well, Ed Soares and Lyoto Machida bought me a few shots the night before the fight…")

Just a reminder that Chael Sonnen’s appeal will be heard today by the California State Athletic Commission. The proceedings start at 12:30 pm ET but according to Loretta Hunt of the LA Times, Chael’s appeal will not be heard until 4:00 pm ET, so unless you have nothing to do all day, you may want to check in with us for updates instead.

We’ll have a link for you to watch, but it won’t be live until 15 minutes prior to the meeting, so check back at 12:15.
