As if Chael Sonnen didn't have enough problems while serving a suspension from the CSAC, his athletic troubles transcended into legal issues.
Sonnen pled guilty to money laundering. He faced charges and could've been locked away for a long time.
Of course Sonnen returned to being a prominent figure in the UFC after moving past the legal concerns, but this only added fuel to the fire for the anti-Sonnen crowd.
