Chael Sonnen Returns To Fighting To Headline Event in August

Articles


Fight fans have been waiting for ages to see The American Gangster fight again after his war with words with Wandy hit critical mass. Those hopes and dreams were crushed when both fighters ran into some “drug test issues” and neither is likely to fight again. Or so we thought. It was recently revealed that Chael Sonnen is going to be headlining Metamoris 4 on August 9th in a match against grappling master Andre Galvao. Granted, it’s not an MMA fight but it takes a card that was already interesting and puts it over the edge. It’s only $20 (If you preorder before July 5th) to watch it live, a refreshing price point for fight fans who are getting tired of shelling out $10 for Fight Pass and another $60 for lackluster Pay Per Views.With the UFC putting on a record number of events this year, even the huge cards (UFC 175, for example) are looking a little thin around the edges. The guys who would usually fill out a PPV are now headlining the Fox Sports 1 and Fight Pass cards.




Here’s the full line up for Metamoris 4 and the official event trailer.

Metamoris 4 Lineup

Andre Calvao vs Chael Sonnen
Dean Lister vs John Barnett
Saulo Ribeiro vs Rodrigo Medeiros
Keenan Cornelius vs Vinny Malgalghaes
Gary Tonon vs Kit Dale
Secret Match

The secret match is a really cool idea. Neither competitor will know who they are facing until they walk out on the day of the event. If they’re doing this, chances are it’s going to be an incredibly interesting match-up.
