Chael had his hearing to today to determine his status with California (and most the rest of the US) Athletic commission. they decided not to give him (renew?) a license which basically means he wont be able to fight it most states now.
Now im not a huge Sonnen fan here, he can be a real **** sometimes, but im starting to think this Kizer guy is out to get him. Sure he got caught up with the feds for money laundering (stupid) but he got fined and is on probation. I dont understand how they can just refuse to give him a license ever again. Sonnen made a statement previously that if he wasnt awarded a license at this hearing he would retire. This is a huge blow to the middle weight division and sad if Sonnens career has to end on this note.

it sucks but it says he lied to the athletic comission earlier on so that's probably the reason.

Dana, just shoot the show in Mexico or something where the commissions have no influence. ;-)
