Former UFC Fighter Chael Sonnen's Battery Charges Dropped After Alleged Hotel Brawl

A Nevada judge dismissed five misdemeanor battery chargers against former UFC star Chael Sonnen on Thursday.

According to TMZ Sports, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said the following when asked about the decision: "This matter was dismissed by the court on its own based upon the fact that the citation's notice to appear failed to comply with the legal requirements as set forth by Nevada law."

The charges stemmed from an alleged brawl that occurred at the Four Seasons hotel in Las Vegas on Dec. 18.
