In the sports word things can change on a dime. I was literally JUST writing some stuff up on Chael Sonnen for this weeks episode of DTRTwrestling weekly and then I get a txt from fellow crew member Trevor Decker and I learn that Chael Sonnen says he’s retiring from MMA…. I mean just like that. You can read more on the story here http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/chael-sonnen-announces-he-s-retiring-from-mma-after-17-years-of-fighting-061114?cmpid=traffic:partner:bleacherreport

The dude has had a hell of a career. One of his stand out rivalries of corse was against the legendary Anderson Silva. Sonnen is definitely a legend in his own right and in some ways my heart is breaking for the dude because its like he had to do what he did to stay healthy.

With Sonnen announcing retirement want does this mean for the light heavyweight title? You can expect me to discuss the Sonnen situation in its entirety this Friday on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/DTRTwrestling at 12pmPST/3pmEST
