Chael Sonnen found himself on the wrong side of the law after he got involved in a bust-up at a luxury hotel in Las Vegas. His actions prompted law enforcement officials to detain him and subsequently slap him with 5 misdemeanor battery citations.
However, the former UFC middleweight kingpin was not arrested as the officers did not witness the havoc unfolding firsthand. While paramedics were called to the scene at the Las Vegas Four Seasons, no injuries have been reported as of yet.
