Here is a bit from the article:  Credit to bloodyelbow.com

U.S. attorney's office spokesperson Gerri Badden told MMA Fighting that Sonnen was sentenced on Friday to 24 months probation, a $10,000 fine, and forfeiture of his real estate license as the result of his Jan. 3 guilty plea.

In his plea, Sonnen admitted that he was part of a financial transaction that was conducted or designed to disguise the ownership of funds due to wire fraud. The charge had carried a possible fine of up to 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. 

Sonnen was sentenced in the case by Judge Michael W. Mosman in the district of Oregon's Portland courts.

It's a conspiracy theory!! The one fighter that has the ability to beat Silva won't be able to fight for 2 years.

I was watching a UFC Unleashed episode the other day and they aired the Chael Sonnen vs Demian Maia fight.  Back then nobody really cared about Chael's career. He was just that "other" Team Quest wrestler who came over from the WEC.  What an insane up and down he story it's been since then.

@beastie I don't think the 2 years probation will have any impact on his ability to fight in the UFC.   For example, Quinton Jackson was given 3 years probation for his rampage back in 2008:

His probation won't effect his fighting career. It's OUTSIDE the cage where he needs to behave.

Not really a fan of Chael, but I do give him credit for being the P4P best trash talker in sports.  I always get a laugh out of his delusional rants.

I really wanted to see Sonnen fight Bisping in England. Maybe one day.

Munoz maybe?  I'm not sure if he is scheduled to fight or not.  I'm just glad it is over and we (and him) can move on!

Munoz is fighting Maia Kalibo. Personally I'd like to see Chael face Bisping on TUF, but that being said as a Chael fan I'll be happy to see him fight anybody.
