The bad guy is head to Bellator.

In what can only be described as a shocking turn of events, Chael Sonnen has signed with Bellator MMA after the UFC recently granted him his release. Terms of the release or the new deal were not immediately available.

The news was first reported by the Associated Press. MMA Fighting confirmed the news with both UFC and Bellator officials.

Sonnen, 39, will enter Bellator with a 29-14-1 professional record, however, he has not fought since his Nov. 2013 loss to Rashad Evans. He recently served a two-year suspension handed by the Nevada Athletic Commission for failing multiple drug tests in 2014.

I LOVE this move for Chael. Stay the big fish longer, make big $$ from sponsors. It was a great choice.

"Chael is an incredible athlete that has competed at the very highest levels of the sport," Bellator MMA President Scott Coker stated, "and I know that he is going to continue to do just that here at Bellator. When we were signing him, Chael was adamant that he wants to compete in three divisions here. He already has unfinished business with Wanderlei Silva, but he also wants to fight guys like Tito Ortiz, Fedor Emelianenko and even Rory MacDonald at middleweight. These are all fights that I'd be very inclined to watch, so hopefully we can put some, if not all of these match-ups together starting before the end of the year."
