Chael Sonnen it made headlines again, but this time it wasn't because of MMA. The fighter caused controversy during his participation in the reality show 'Celebrity Apprentice', known in Brazil as 'The Apprentice', which was led by actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger. The North American tried to cheat while taking a test, but was caught and 'sent away' from the program.

During the fourth episode of the season, Sonnen, who was part of a group that was working on a project with a tight deadline, decided to cut the computer cable, in an attempt to allege technical problems with the production and, consequently, gain more time to perform the task. The plan obviously didn't work, culminating in the athlete's elimination from Bellator.

After being caught, Chael showed no regret and even boasted about his achievement, claiming that he adopted the strategy because he knew the rules.
