Mike Roberts of MMA Inc., which represents the fighter, today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that a closed-door meeting of the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission went in Sonnen’s favor. “They had a panel, we had a meeting with them, and as far as we know, they’re going to license him,” he said. “As far as we know, it will be just like everybody else’s license.” The decision clears the way for Sonnen to headline the event opposite Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. As of Wednesday, the three-time UFC title challenger didn’t have a license to fight . According to a prepared statement issued the same day, the MSAC preliminarily agreed to allow Sonnen to fight at the event, which takes place Aug. 17 at Boston’s TD Garden, but assembled its medical board to discuss the fighter’s use of testosterone-replacement therapy.
