Chael Sonnen Breaks Silence on NSAC Troubles, Legal Woes, Fighting Future

Speaking publicly for the first time since his California state athletic commission testimony last December, UFC middleweight contender Chael Sonnen said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour that he considered his UFC contract unfrozen and was looking forward to getting back in the cage as soon as possible.

A return to action will not come, however, until Sonnen steps before the Nevada state athletic commission again. During CSAC testimony last December, Sonnen told commissioners that he had cleared his testosterone replacement therapy use in Nevada with its athletic commission executive direction Keith Kizer. Kizer, however, disputed that. The sides met recently and Sonnen voiced a hope that a second meeting would give more clarity to his situation.

Saying he incorrectly phrased his testimony, Sonnen took blame for the mistake and anticipated the opportunity to allay the concerns of the influential Nevada commission.

Chael SonnenFor 30 minutes, Chael Sonnen spoke solemnly, seriously about the suspended state of his career and his attempts to revive it. But when the topic switched to the current state of MMA, Sonnen seemingly flipped a switch and became the soundbyte machine we’ve come to expect.

Appearing on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, the UFC middleweight took aim at the weight division directly above his. While praising the recently crowned UFC light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones, he blasted the rest of the weight class’ contenders for what he sees as their unwillingness to face him.

“He brings more to the table than just being the world champion,” he told host Ariel Helwani. “He brings integrity, he brings class, he’s good for the industry and he’s good for the sport. And most importantly, you need to do what’s good for sport. I get real frustrated with these guys who are just in it for themselves.

Nearly a year since his last fight in Strikeforce, Jason “Mayhem” Miller still has no follow-up bout scheduled, though the popular middleweight hopes the recent Zuffa-Strikeforce deal has opened up to the possibilities of facing some UFC stars.

Miller is currently training as well as filming a role on Kevin James’ upcoming MMA-themed film “Here Comes the Boom,” but on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, he said he’s looking forward to getting back in the cage as soon as he gets an offer.

One of his hopes is that he gets a chance to fight against some of the sport’s biggest names.

“I will beat the brakes off most of the guys in the middleweight divisions in the UFC,” he said. “I guaran-damn-tee it.”
