INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Chael Sonnen and Quinton Jackson agreed to a bet last month on a media tour. “Rampage” was so confident Sonnen would not be able to take him down, that he said he’d give Sonnen $10,000 for every takedown he landed at Bellator 192.
Well, it seems as if Jackson is going to be owing Sonnen some money.
Sonnen defeated “Rampage” by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) in the main event Saturday night at The Forum. The victory sends Sonnen into the Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix tournament semifinals, where he’ll face the winner of an April fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Frank Mir.
