Although retired from mixed martial arts, Sonnen, 38, has remained active in the sport with broadcasting, podcasting and other media gigs.
The show challenges celebrities to work together to complete business-oriented tasks, this time with an emphasis on technology and innovation. The winner will receive a $250,000 check for the charity of their choice. “Celebrity Apprentice” has raised more than $15 million for charities over the course of its run.
