Chael Sonnen (born April 3, 1977 in West Linn, Oregon) is an American mixed martial artist (MMA). He is currently signed as a middleweight with World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), which is owned by Zuffa (the parent company of the UFC). Most recently Sonnen fought Paulo Filho for the WEC middleweight championship. Sonnen was defeated by submission at 4:55 of the second round. There was controversy stemming from the fight stoppage, however. Sonnen did not tap out, he yelled, and the referee took that as a verbal submission and stopped the fight. In his post-fight interview Sonnen said that he told the referee not to stop the fight, and continually said "No" when the referee asked if he wanted to submit. A rematch has been announced to headline WEC 34.
