Chael Sonnen recently apologized to a couple with whom he was engaged in a brief altercation in 2021.
According to reports, Sonnen crossed Dr. Christopher Stellpflug and Julie Spellpflug at a Four Seasons hotel corridor in Las Vegas in December 2021. The couple claimed that Sonnen was intoxicated and slapped a drink out of Dr.Christopher's hand. A hotel employee sent to intervene had also claimed that Sonnen had punched him during the altercation.
Recently, Sonnen took to Instagram and apologized to the couple for his misbehaviour, stating:
“Dr. Chris and his wife Julie Stellpflug, Mr. and Mrs. Stellpflug, a number of years ago in Las Vegas were coming down a hallway trying to get to their room, encountered a maniac, me, and I apologize. I’ve wanted to apologize for a number of years, but it just wasn’t right. It’s a whole situation, it just takes time, but I’ve got to tell you it has been bothering me."

He added:
“I would extend this apology to their children. Children were not present, but I have children. Reverse the role and think of myself as a child with my own parents, your parents get drug through the media and a legal case because they encounter a madman while doing what they should be doing in a hallway, which is walking to their room. I’ve got to tell you, you’re owed an apology and I sincerely give you one.”

Chael Sonnen reached a plea deal in the Las Vegas hotel fight case
Chael Sonnen initially faced felony charges of battery by strangulation and misdemeanour battery charges stemming from the aforementioned assault. While Sonnen was not immediately arrested after the incident, he was charged after the victims filed an official complaint of the incident.
Sonnen pleaded no contest in Clark County Justice Court and was fined $750 as punishment. Prosecutors had dropped some of the misdemeanour charges, and other charges were dismissed as part of the plea deal.
