The Bad Guy Chael Sonnen is in hot water. A federal court has ruled that a defamation lawsuit filed by Arlene Delgado, a former senior advisor to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, against retired mixed martial artist Chael Sonnen can proceed. Delgado alleges that Sonnen made false and damaging claims about her during a March 2023 episode of the podcast Flagrant. The court found sufficient grounds for some of her claims to move forward, rejecting Sonnen’s motion to dismiss.
