CSAC votes to uphold Sonnen's suspension.

One-time UFC middleweight title contender Chael Sonnen will not be competing in the octagon anytime soon.

The California State Athletic Commission today ruled to uphold Sonnen's indefinite suspension, citing both a recent federal money-laundering conviction, as well as some questionable testimony following a positive result in a post-UFC 117 drug screen.

The CSAC made their ruling during today's special meeting, which took place at the Ronald Reagan State Office Building in Los Angeles. The motion passed with a vote of 4-1.

Sonnen can not reapply for a license before June 29, 2012. Should he elect to do so, he'll have to once again appear before the CSAC.

Well, Sonnen deserves to be punished.

What sucks is that we won't see a Silva-Sonnen rematch for awhile, if at all.

Rumor is that if things don't go his way on Thursday that he won't be able to apply for a license until June 2012...

Brutal. Not a fan of Sonnen, but damn.
