The bad guy's back.
Former UFC middleweight title challenger and pay-per-view attraction Chael Sonnen has inked a deal with Las Vegas-based professional wrestling company Global Force Wrestling.
The new promotion, which is owned and operated by former WWE superstar Jeff Jarrett, will have their first television taping on July 24 at The Orleans in Las Vegas. A distribution deal has yet to be announced. Sonnen was introduced as an "expert analyst" at Wednesday's press conference.
Sonnen should serve as quite the addition to Jarrett's upstart promotion. "The Gangster from West Linn" had a wildly successful mixed martial arts career despite the absence of a fan-friendly fighting style.
