Chael Sonnen is an American submission grappling promoter, mixed martial arts (MMA) analyst, author, and retired mixed martial artist. Beginning his MMA career in 1997, Sonnen competed for the UFC, where he became a top contender in both the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions and challenged for both the UFC Light Heavyweight and UFC Middleweight Championships. Sonnen has also fought in the Bellator MMA.
Sonnen is often considered as one of the greatest all-time mixed martial artists to have never won a UFC Championship.

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest trash-talkers in MMA history.
