Sounds like the whole thing is more complicated than it looks. And Dana has made it clear that Chael is not off the hook and neither is the Commission in Nevada. Chael's appealing and it sounds like he's both got some points and he's got some points screwed up.
In non-Chael news, Jason High joins Paul Daley, Rousimar Palhares, Thiago Silva, and Will Chope on the "He'll Never Compete For Us Again" List after he shoved the ref in ABQ.

So Chael just retired on UFC Tonight Wow. I know he is considered a pretty divisive figure amongst fans but this still is a pretty tough loss.

Still can't believe they wasted a prime Jones fight on that clown. Dana's in love with the guy, I'm sure he'll stick around.

He's a good studio guy and a company guy at that... he'll stay on the preview shows and the UFC Tonights' of the world, maybe even getting some PbP chances for Fight Pass or something. He's a bigger Florian.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Honestly, it's the smart move for Sonnen. If he's not going to be able to get within acceptable range and treat his hypergonadism, why waste everyone's time knowing that he won't be in compliance? Take the money you won and earn more with an office job.

I wonder if they can have Chael Sonnen form a Heenan family type stable he can do interviews for. It might help to create the draws UFC desperately needs.

Well hardly surprising that Sonnen called it quits as getting busted again most likely meant any chance of being able to talk his way into getting another title shot at 185 was gone and he can now fall back on whatever office or studio work the UFC gives him.
Also just got my ticket to UFC fight night 43 today.

It was a still a joke of a fight from a company that's always going on about being the most legit/best sport in the world. Meh, that said I watched the fight myself so who am I to talk. *shrug*

They should keep Chael on in some form IMO, have him inn a speaking role of some sort. I wouldn't complain if he went to WWE or somewhere either, seeing as he's been proven to be quite a mark in the past. Join ROH or something to help someone oppose ReDragon and Tom Lawlor.
