Chael Sonnen has been a guy who took one of the greatest fighters in the world to the limit, he worked his way up as the #1 UFC Middleweight contender twice.

In the UFC in a lot of eyes your remembered for what you did in your last fight, Chael is coming off back to back title losses in two different weight classes.

What people fail to think about is the fact he went up against Anderson Silva and Jon Jones, anyone who has followed the UFC knows what those two fighters are all about.

August 17th Chael will have his chance to get back into talks for big fights in the Middleweight division if he could get past former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Mauricio Shogun Rua.

Hes running into another dangerous opponent, he will need to use his wrestling to keep this fight on the ground.

Although you know its coming Chael Sonnen may be one of the best wrestlers on the planet, this guy could take down a horse if he wanted to.

Its been said if Chael defeats Shogun Rua that there is a possibility we could see him go up against Wanderlei Silva or Vitor Belfort.

Whatever you think of Chael Sonnen there is a reason he enters so many UFC conversations, there is a reason he headlines events he will always be a huge draw.

Aug 17th I expect Chael to come out trying to fight like he has in every other fight, win or lose the American Gangster will come out swinging and look for a takedown.
