https://youtu.be/_nc5CU1V5os Halloween is one of those holidays that anybody can enjoy no matter what age they are. When you’re young, you get to dawn a costume and personality of someone you idolize and go trick or treating. As you grow up, however, Halloween becomes less about the trick or treating and more about simply buying Halloween themed candy and finding the scariest movie you possibly can.

Chael Sonnen has not stepped foot in the octagon since fighting Rashad Evans at UFC 167 nearly two years ago in November 2013. He was scheduled to clash with Wanderlei Silva at UFC 173, but one of Sonnen’s pre-fight random pre-fight drug tests forced him out of the fight when it came back positive for performance enhancing drugs. Sonnen quickly announced his retirement from mixed martial arts just before UFC terminated his contract and the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended him for two years. The two year suspension will expire in the summer of 2016, but it looks like he will stand by his original decision to retire.

World Series of Fighting hosted UFC veterans Jon Fitch and Yushin Okami’s first meeting at “WSOF 24: Fitch vs. Okami”. With a combined seventy-six professional fights to their name, it is to nobody’s surprise that they fought intelligently and cautiously for fifteen minutes straight. Of course one would catch the other off guard with the occasional takedown or heavy strike, but it was mostly Jon Fitch’s fight to lose at “WSOF 24”. Fitch thinks he gave Okami too much credit in the strength department, something he capitalized on in the second round. “He’s definitely strong, but I’m a beast myself,” Fitch told MMA Junkie. “In the first round, I gave him too much credit for how strong he was going to be. I kept waiting for him to hulk me over with the body lock, because he was locking his hands a few times. I think that I eventually overpowered him and made him constantly work, drain the oxygen from his muscles and slowed him down a little bit. He’s kind of awkward and big, long and difficult to deal with.”
