All charges dismissed against Chael Sonnen in Las Vegas hotel case

Back in December former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen was accused of battery against ‘five separate victims’. That alleged incident took place at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas and purportedly included Sonnen banging on the door of a room before being involved in an altercation with its inhabitants.

Sonnen had been charged with misdemeanor battery in relation to that case. However, per a report from ESPN, those charges have now been dropped. As a result Sonnen will not face any criminal prosecution in relation to the case.

With this case now closed Sonnen is free to focus on his duties for tonight, serving as analyst for Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Eagle FC.
