Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson recently recounted his Bellator bout against Chael Sonnen and detailed the tactics used by the former UFC middleweight title challenger.
Jackson and Sonnen fought in the quarter-finals of the Bellator heavyweight grand prix in 2018. The tournament was star studded as it also featured the likes of Fedor Emelianenko, Frank Mir, and eventual winner Ryan Bader.
During a recent episode of his Jaxxon Podcast, 'Rampage' brought up that he wasn't happy with Sonnen's tactics during the fight because he was more focused on securing takedowns rather than engaging on the feet.
Jackson mentioned that 'The American Gangster's strategy was similar to some of his past opponents and made a hilarious comment indicating that he should be financially compensating as a result. He said:
"I hate when guys just take you down, just leg hump you...Fu**ing Chael Sonnen [did that]...That's how he won the fight. Chael Sonnen, Rashad Evans, Ryan Bader, these guys just take you down...He [Sonnen] took me down and just laid on my leg and he made love to my leg...I tell him he owe me child support, he got my leg pregnant...He still owe me child support."
It will be interesting to see whether Sonnen will respond as Jackson's co-host implied that the former UFC star could be a future guest on their podcast.
