‘Rampage’ Jackson not enthused about potential fight with Chael Sonnen

Fresh off a new contract signing, former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson will return to the cage in the first round of the Bellator heavyweight tournament.

Jackson will join Fedor Emelianenko, Ryan Bader, “King Mo” Lawal, Roy Nelson, Frank Mir, Matt Mitrione and Chael Sonnen in the single-elimination tournament, which is expected to kick off on Jan. 20 in Inglewood, Calif.

But while his first-round opponent has yet to be announced, “Rampage” is outspoken about one man he does not want to face: Chael Sonnen.
