Retired from fighting and suspended by the Nevada Athletic Commission after being caught twice in surprise drug tests, the former middleweight and light heavyweight title challenger Chael Sonnen may be returning to MMA. According to the loudmouth's manager, however, the return will only happen if a sufficiently interesting fight motivates him to step into the Octagon again.

“I firmly believe that if the right fight comes along and the offer is good, the Chael Sonnen will jump at the chance to fight again. He is competitive like no other”, guaranteed Mike Roberts, the athlete's agent, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Fighting”.
