UFC middleweight contender and part-time standup comedian Chael Sonnen (25-11-1 MMA, 4-4 UFC) hosts next month's UFC Fight Club Q&A session.
The session takes place on Friday, Aug. 5, prior to the day's official weigh-ins for "UFC 133: Evans vs. Davis II."
Featuring a recently announced main-event rematch between former light heavyweight champions Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz, UFC 133 takes place Aug. 6 at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center. A location for the weigh-ins has not yet been determined.
A 14-year veteran of the sport, Sonnen gained prominence in recent years with victories over Nate Marquardt, Yushin Okami and Dan Miller before falling victim to a fifth-round submission to Anderson Silva. Along the way, Sonnen entertained fans and angered opponents with his outrageous trash talk, which is sure to be on display at the Q&A session.
Despite recent struggles with the California State Athletic Commission after testing positive for elevated testosterone levels following his loss to Silva, Sonnen fights again at UFC 136 in October.
Doors to the event open at 12 p.m. ET, and Sonnen hits the stage at 2 p.m. ET. The session is open only to members of the UFC Fight Club, the UFC's official fan club.
The weigh-ins, which are open to the public, follow at 4 p.m. ET.
