A month before his much-anticipated rematch against Anderson Silva, Chael Sonnen will release his very first book.

According to a press release, Sonnen's book, entitled, The Voice of Reason; A VIP Pass to Enlightenment, is "a hybrid behind-the-scenes look into the sport of mixed martial arts, a personal memoir, and a political manifesto on the way the world should be all rolled into one."

The book will be released on May 15. You can pre-order it here.

“This book had to be written,” Sonnen stated in the release. “The world demanded it and as the people’s unofficial leader, I felt compelled to bestow upon them the truth as they needed to see it…through my own eyes. I know how the world works. I’ve been face-to-face with presidents, wardens, dignitaries, judges, kings and queens, and athletic commissions and learned something from every one of them. Now it’s time to pass that knowledge along.”

UFC 147: Silva-Sonnen 2 is set to take place on June 23 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The main card will air live on pay-per-view.
