One of the most controversial MMA fighters in history will once again parade his resourcefulness in front of the cameras on North American TV, but this time in a role that has nothing to do with sport. The loudmouth Chael Sonnen was confirmed as one of the participants in the next season of the business reality show “The Apprentice: Celebrities”, which brings together celebrities seeking success in the corporate world.

But the news doesn't stop there. As if the presence of the “West Linn Gangster” on the program wasn’t enough, the 15th season of the reality show will be led by none other than the actor, bodybuilder and former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger, who replaces tycoon Donald Trump in the role – as the billionaire is now running for president of the United States.
In addition to Sonnen, the other 15 participants in the program will be: former boxer and daughter of the legendary Muhammad Ali, Laila Ali; actress Brooke Burke; former American football player Eric Dickerson; singer Boy George; host Matt Iseman; fashionista Carson Kressley; former basketball player Lisa Leslie; comedian Jon Lovitz; the lead singer of the band Motley Crüe Vince Neil; author Snooki; actress Kyle Richards; actress Porsha Williams; former American football player Ricky Williams; and singer Carnie Wilson.
The season of “The Apprentice: Celebrities”, which will feature Chael Sonnen, which will be recorded in the coming months in California, does not yet have an official date to premiere on North American TV, but the program is expected to air in the second half of the year.
Sonnen has not fought MMA professionally since November 2013 and ended his career with a record of 28 wins, 14 losses and one draw. Chael currently runs his own podcast and is a guest analyst for the ESPN television network in the United States.
