Bellator 192 Countdown, No. 1: 'Rampage,' Sonnen and their $10k per takedown side bet

Bellator MMA’s heavyweight grand prix kicks off later this month, and the promotion is rolling out a special three-part series previewing the matchup between Quinton Jackson and Chael Sonnen.

“Rampage” (37-12 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) and Sonnen (29-15 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) meet at Bellator 192, which takes place on Jan. 20 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The night’s main card airs on the soon-to-be-rebranded Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.

In the first edition of “Bellator Countdown,” Jackson and Sonnen begin their media obligations ahead of the contest, and each of the fighters handle the responsibilities in a very different way. However, a few good stories are told along the way – including how Jackson proposed to his wife twice: first while sitting on a toilet and then directly before getting KTFO in front of the world.

As the day wears on, Jackson decided the matchup needs some higher stakes and promises to give Sonnen $10,000 for every takedown he can secure in the contest.
