Chael Sonnen is coming clean in regards to an ugly incident from his past.

In December 2021, Sonnen was briefly detained at a Four Seasons hotel in Las Vegas after an altercation with a couple, Dr. Christopher Stellpflug and Julie Stellpflug, in a hallway. The Stellpflugs claimed Sonnen appeared to be intoxicated and that he slapped a drink out of Christopher’s hand unprovoked. A hotel employee also claimed he was punched by the three-time UFC title challenger.
