Chael Sonnen fails UFC 175 Random drug test, has been pulled from the fight.
UFC Middleweight and Light Heavyweight fighter Chael Sonnen has failed a random drug test that he had to take in the lead-up to his UFC 175 fight with long-time rival, Vitor Belfort.
Sonnen coached at TUF Brazil 3 and was expected to fight opposing coach Wanderlei Silva at UFC 175, but after Wanderlei refused to take drug tests, he was pulled from the fight and replaced by Vitor Belfort.
Belfort was just weeks away from challenging Chris Weidman for the UFC Middleweight Championship at UFC 173 but The Nevada State Athletic Commission banned TRT, which Belfort was a user of. Belfort was pulled from the fight and Lyoto Machida stepped in, the fight was later moved to UFC 175. Since agreeing to fight Chael Sonnen at UFC 175, there has been a lot of speculation over Belfort's drug test results, many people were wondering if he was still taking something illegal and he did admit that he failed a drug test February. Sonnen criticized Wanderlei heavily for literally running away from drug tests.
Many people were interested to find out the results of Vitor Belfort's drug tests but it is Chael Sonnen, in fact, that has failed his random drug test.
