The Official Chael P. Sonnen Career Memorial Thread

[ViciousPrism 177]

In the fallout of a failed Nevada Athletic Commission drug test, popular and controversial UFC fighter Chael Sonnen has announced his retirement from mixed martial arts.

 

The 37-year-old from West Linn, Oregon made his retirement official on Wednesday's edition of UFC Tonight.

 

The announcement came one day after it was reported that Sonnen tested positive for banned substances in a May 23 random drug test for what was a planned July 5 fight against Wanderlei Silva.

 

"I want to officially announce my retirement from competitive mixed martial arts," Sonnen said.

**** sake, let them all take drugs, who really cares? It makes every sport better when steroids are involved anyway and now we are robbed of Sonnen/Wanderlei for good. Boooooo!

 

Seriously though, name one sport which wasnt better when steroids were involved. MMA is better, wrestling is better, baseball sucks in general but I assume it was better.

Sign him up Vince.

I think this just became my new favourite thread.

 

All Hail Chael.

 

Now someone get him on TV in some kind of speaking capacity.

[Guest Magic]

Give him his own talk show in a Daily Show format and have him just tee off on everything, not just MMA/Wrestling.

Oh sh*t, Chael Sonnen doing "what grinds my gears"?

 

GENIUS!!

[Guest John Hancock]

The American Gangster video is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

 

Bye Bye Chael.

The dream is over. Chael Sonnen has been fired from the UFC in just about every possible way.

 

The UFC and FOX Sports organizations announced today the termination of their respective broadcasting services agreements with analyst Chael Sonnen. This decision comes in light of Sonnen failing a second test conducted by the Nevada Athletic Commission for banned substances in June. Sonnen was previously under temporary suspension by the Nevada Athletic Commission for failing an initial test conducted in May.

To be fair the UFC don't have many people under contract who have failed steroid tests.

 

Oh, wait.
