Mokaev (16-0) was abruptly let go by the UFC after going on a 7-0 run. He was on the cusp of title contention after defeating Manel Kape at UFC 304 in July 2024, but the promotion weren't interested in re-signing him.

Chael Sonnen doesn't apologize for hot take on Tom Aspinall after UFC 321 but admits his anger might be misdirected.

Chael Sonnen has a controversial opinion about Ronda Rousey's popularity.

Chael Sonnen thinks Leon Edwards has a confidence issue. Edwards (22-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC) will look to snap a two-fight losing skid when he takes on Carlos Prates (22-7 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in Saturday's UFC 322 (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+/FX, ESPN+) main card at Madison Square Garden in New York.

If there’s one division not just in the UFC but the sport in general that needs sprucing up, it’s the heavyweights. And a green octagon newcomer made his debut at UFC Vegas 111 tonight as Hokit blasted Max Gimenis, immediately promising that excitement.

Chael Sonnen recently shared his honest thoughts on the narrative about Ronda Rousey being among the UFC's biggest stars.

"'The Bad Guy' is reincarnated inside of a dad-bod heavyweight. It is what it is. Shout out to the 'Bad Guy,' Chael Sonnen," Hokit said. "… If they're offended by (my talk), I don't want them as fans."

Chael Sonnen is quite the polarizing figure in MMA. Igniting both a chorus of boos and a roomful of applause at the same time, Sonnen is a name that always elicits a response from MMA fans. That was never more true than during the epic UFC 148 event.

But there still has not been enough information and confirmation for Sonnen to accept fighter interest in the event. In a recent interview with TNT Sports during UFC 322 fight week, ‘The Bad Guy’ called Jones and other athletes pleading for a fight at the White House “weirdos.”
