Barnett retained his heavyweight championship, and Chael Sonnen wants to be next in line for a shot at the gold.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Chael Sonnen and Renato Sobral grappled to a time-limit draw, Sonnen maintained top control for the majority of the bout. Sonnen didn&#8217;t pass &#8220;Babalu&#8217;s&#8221; guard and didn&#8217;t try to finish the bout, but he defended every hold Sobral tried to slap on.
