Mosman ordered that Sonnen pay a fine of $10,000.  No mention on the docket yet re whether he will be forced to forfeit his real estate license and whether he will get the recommended sentence of two-years probation.

Specifically, the minute entry provides as follows:

Update: 

According to Mike Chiappetta, the Judge followed the parties' recommended sentence:

U.S. attorney's office spokesperson Gerri Badden told MMA Fighting that Sonnen was sentenced to 24 months probation, a $10,000 fine, and forfeiture of his real estate license as the result of his Jan. 3 guilty plea.
