Sound the horns, roll out the red carpet, play “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” a.k.a. the Ric Flair theme because Chael P. Sonnen is officially in Bellator. This is surely going to usher in a new era for the organization and the Google Trend searches for Bellator are probably already bursting through the ceiling.
Just 24 hours after making the announcement, Sonnen appeared on a media conference call spitting fire, and later last night showed up multiple different times via video at the Bellator 161 event. He wants to fight Tito Ortiz first, but revealed some startling test results on air that may prevent the fight from happening.

As you can expect, Sonnen already made the signing worth it for Bellator and he hasn’t even fought yet! He talked about his next opponent, the signing, his “basically” clean USADA results and flexed those giant, Oregon arms.
Watch the interview portion of the videos here below.
