Who is Chael Sonnen's wife? Ex-UFC star was allegedly trying to 'protect' her in Vegas brawl
Former UFC star Chael Sonnen has been charged with 11 counts of battery relating to an incident that happened on December 18 in Las Vegas last year, according to court documents. In addition, the former boxer was charged with a felony, which was classified as a battery by strangulation. The criminal complaint stated that Sonnen assaulted six persons. Sonnen was charged with felony strangulation after a guy claimed Sonnen strangled him.
While Sonnen himself has not spoken publicly about the incident, Brendan Schaub, another former UFC fighter, has previously claimed the fight took place because Sonnen was just trying to protecting his wife, Brittany Sonnen.
“Here’s what happened. Chael was obviously working and he was with his wife and his wife is a f*cking saint and also a dime piece,” Schaub said on the podcast ‘Below the Belt’. “And some drunk guy with his girl kept making comments about his wife, saying about her t**s, her a**, right in front of him. Well, play stupid games, win stupid prizes, cause you are talking and disrespecting one of the toughest guys on the planet and definitely one of the toughest ever to compete in the UFC or Bellator for that matter. And you’re doing it in front of his face, then there’s gonna be repercussions. And any guy that wanted to do that for their girl/ladies you got a girlfriend.”
