Chael Sonnen gets Presidential support
Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship contender Chael Sonnen is famed as much for the trash talking he does before and after any match as what he does inside the ring, and yet, he has an extremely loyal fan base throughout his native in the United States of America. These loyal fans pay huge amounts of money to watch him in UFC pay per view events, wait in line in the rain and snow for hours and hours just to catch a glimpse of the former Middleweight fighter, to take a photograph with him or get him to sign an autograph.
And as if that was not enough, one fan thinks so highly of him that he or she went on to vote for Chael Sonnen in the US Presidential elections of 2012. According to a recent report in The New York Times, one vote among all those count was tallied in the favor of the American Gangster. The official election results for the city of New York were posted a couple of days back and it has been revealed that Sonnen has received the same number of votes as the mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg.
Although the voter probably knew that his or her vote would not result in the American taking over from Barack Obama as the President of the United States of America, he or she must have been aware of the political ambitions of the UFC fighter who ran for a seat in the Senate back in 2010 from his home state of Oregon, withdrawing at the last moment due to legal disputes.
Now, Chael Sonnen must get over the failed dream of presidency and concentrate on how to defeat Jon Jones at the end of April for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.
