Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen was charged last month with one felony count of battery by strangulation and 10 misdemeanor counts of battery. This stems from a December altercation at a Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas.
It’s been reported in the past that Sonnen was accused of beating up several men and one woman inside the hotel. Sonnen apparently told the police that he “did not have memory of anything.”
On Friday, TMZ Sports had an update on Sonnen’s situation. According to court records, the felony strangulation charge that Sonnen was hit with has been dropped.
Court records also show that five other battery charges for Sonnen were dropped.

Sonnen, who joined ESPN after his UFC career came to an end, is still facing five misdemeanor charges at this time.
ESPN released this statement on the MMA analyst earlier this year: “Chael will not appear on ESPN as we explore the details of these serious charges.
Sonnen is due for another hearing on April 27.
