Chonan has been a staple on the Japanese MMA scene since 2001, competing exclusively in DEEP and PRIDE FC tournaments.

Chonan holds wins over such fighters as Carlos Newton, Daijiro Matsui, Antonio Schembri, and Joey Villasenor. His most notable win came against current UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva where he executed an unlikely but very affective Flying Scissor Heel Hook to defeat the Brazilian superstar at PRIDE Shockwave 2004.

Chonan is speculated to make his UFC debut at UFC 78 against Thaigo Alves.
