Chael Sonnen Watch! Chael vs. Munoz is official folks.

Mark Munoz vs. Chael Sonnen has been announced for UFC on Fox 2, on 28th January next year. This is going to be the co-main event, with Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis going to take the top spot.

This is going to be an essential fight for Sonnen, as the winner of this fight is expected to face Middleweight champion Anderson Silva once he has recovered from his current shoulder injury. Munoz is going to be a tough test for Sonnen, at 7-1 since 2009 when he moved down to middleweight from light heavyweight. More than this however, Munoz is an expert wrestler and ground and pounder, a style than Sonnen has relied on to get him on his current run of success. Chael showed off his great ground game in his last two fights against Brian Stann and Anderson Silva, but it will be interesting to see how he fares against someone who can potentially match him on the ground. I will cover it more as the fight approaches, but for now, definitely an interesting matchup to look forward to.
