This one should easily win the weekly–and monthly–award for most unexpected MMA story. In a move that should stun most, former two-time UFC middleweight contender Chael Sonnen is headed to Bellator. The news was first broken by the Associated Press , and has since been reported by multiple other news outlets–including Fox Sports, ABC News and MMAFighting.
Sonnen has not seen the inside of a MMA cage since his UFC 167 loss to Rashad Evans, in November of 2013.
