Apparently, Chael Sonnen has a hearing to day for his match versus Shogun next weekend. I know what you're thinking it's TRT related right. Oh hell no, the National Organization of Women and some group called Unions Unite managed to get a hearing to oppose his license due to a past felony conviction and some things that he has said in interviews. I'm not debating the merits of the arguments as much as the fact that 2 organizations that have NOTHING to do with mma or any fight sport were granted a CLOSED DOOR hearing by the Mass commission. Fucking clown shoes up there.

The grievance came from the union group Unite Here, who had filed a complaint with the commission over Sonnen's licensing after he was convicted on federal money laundering charges in 2011. There was a second complaint filed by the National Organization for Women over Sonnen's alleged sexist, homophobic and derogatory language.
The complaints were heard in a special closed-door session with the commission on Thursday, but ultimately, Sonnen was able to obtain permission to fight without any issues.
