Former UFC title challenger and self-proclaimed “American Gangster” Chael Sonnen has returned to the forefront of the mixed martial arts community after a short sabbatical following his retirement and release from FOX Sports.

While Sonnen’s fighting career may be over, his promotional expertise is being utilized by BattleGrounds MMA. This weekend, live on pay-per-view, BattleGrounds MMA will feature the return of the one-night eight-man tournament where the finalists will have to fight three times in order to garner the $50k prize.

In the commentary booth will be none other than Sonnen himself, joined by legendary WWE announcer Jim Ross. In anticipation for this event, Sonnen and BattleGrounds released a short promo video featuring the Gangster himself.

The tournament features a bevy of former UFC competitors including Luigi Fioravanti, Jesse Taylor, Cody McKenzie, and more. To catch the event live on PPV this Friday night, check out GFL.tv’s stream.
