Chael Sonnen will make his long-awaited return to the ESPN analyst’s desk for Saturday’s highly anticipated UFC 291 pay-per-view.
‘The American Gangster’ has been absent from broadcasts dating back to December 2021 when he was cited following an altercation in a Las Vegas hotel. Sonnen allegedly attacked multiple patrons before turning his attention to the responding security team members. Shortly after, Sonnen was suspended by ESPN.
Recently, Sonnen pleaded no-contest to “breaking the peace” and was ordered to pay a $750 fine. He will not do any jail time as a result of the plea deal.
